So you want to start a blog.
You may already know what you want to blog about. If not, you should be resolved to grabbing yourself a yourname.com domain name and blogging about everything and anything that comes to mind. The act of blogging itself will give you direction.
To be honest, grabbing a yourname.com domain is the best advice I can give to any beginner blogger, whether they know what they want to blog about or not. Why? Because it’s zero hassle and gives you total freedom.
Take chrisguillebeau.com for example. His domain name is his name, but that hasn’t stopped him from branding his website as The Art of Non-Conformity and becoming a New York Times bestselling author and the founder of the World Domination Summit – a 3,000 strong conference held every year in Portland, Oregon.
And if your firstnamelastname.com domain is already taken, there are lots of alternatives you can try.
However, if you want to pick something a little more original for your blog’s domain name, keep reading.
