My web designer did a great job with www.papertalk.ng . Most people don't even know it's Wordpress.

The only headache I currently have is with my plug-ins, while my website updates automatically post to my Twitter, I have not found plugins that could help with my FacebooK.

Have u tried NextScripts: Social Networks Auto-Poster.
It works for most of the social networks.

A newbie here... Would love to get me a wordpress blog. I heard in wordpress you are gonna pay for hosting and domain if you wanna remove the *.* unlike where u dont pay for hosting. Is that true? Pls expantiate on that

Choose whether you want to self-host, or get a free blog

This is one of the biggest decision you’ll have to make wen setting up your blog. You need to decide whether to pay for your blog hosting or grab a free blog from WordPress. getting a free blog may seem attractive for those who aren’t super serious about blogging because of its downsides:

You are not able to get your OWN domain – Instead, you will get a sub-domain. If you decide to start a free blog on (for example), then it would look like this http://oluwafemiadeniyi.

You DON’T OWN your blog – silly as it may sound, you don’t actually own your blog. It’s hosted on someone else’s web property and they can delete it if they want so. They have done so in the past, and keep doing it in the future(Remember Linda Ikeji blog was deleted by Google in 2014 before it was later restored). Which means all your hard work on your blog, all those countless hours of writing blog posts might be vanished within seconds.

A self-hosted blog on your own domain (yourblog.com) is by far the better option. It gives you full control over your blog and you’ll look more professional. It’s also a great choice for people who want to blog long-term, share their knowledge, become a blogger and earn some money from it.


Setting up a blog on your own domain (if you choose self-hosting and a custom domain)

I’m moving forward with the believe you’ve chosen WordPress, and if you haven’t, you should because it’s the best. If you decided to go with a self-hosted blog on your own domain, you have made a smart choice. Finding a great domain name can take a while, but it’s worth it. I suggest you pick something brandable and easy to remember.

WHERE CAN I GET A DOMAIN NAME AND BLOG HOSTING?

I recommend you get a domain and hosting from the same place, that way you’ll save some money and time. In the past few years while I have been creating and managing blogs, I have discovered that there are very few reliable hosting companies.

One of the most reliable one is Siteground hosting

You have two options to install your blog to your own domain:

A) With “One-Click-Installation” using Siteground (You can get a domain from there as well).
B) Manually.

The One-Click-Installation is better for beginners or those who are trying to set up their first blog. If you are internet/computer savvy then have a look at the manual tutorial. Either way, you’ll get your blog online very quickly.

That's a lovely site you have bros. a professional job. I like it. Just ask your designer to clean your url. Instead of http://papertalk.ng/?cat=5, it should be http://papertalk.ng/entertainment. It looks more proffesional that way.

Well done

Please how much will it take to set up a news blog with a design like yours?

I can help anyone for free when am not busy, I can create custom theme or plugin.

Note: Am into IT but I code for fun.

`

I've researched on it and it's hard to monetize, shed light on this.

Rexyl:


Is it one-time payment, or there are other charges?

One time

MEILYN:

Cost to consider when setting up news or blogging site.
For SEO purposes, domain name registration should be at least 2 years - #4000
hosting @ #10,000 per annum will get you a decent hosting package that should accommodate your traffic needs
graphics - logo design, web banner designs, social media branding - at the minimum you will spend 5-10k for a decent and professional job.
Premium Template - #10,000

It will cost you extra if you want to employ the services of a web designer. There are many resources on the web you can refer to for help on solving the different tasks associated with setting up your blog.

My website is not a news or blog website, its a corporate site with a blog. If a news/blog website is what you need, it will cost you from 50k depending on the scope of work.

So start the job. All the best.
