Step 1. Why and Where to register your Domain Name:
Why to Register a Domain Name
If you are going to be using your blog in place of a website registering a url and forwarding it to your blog address is a great way to create a more professional appearance when posting your url online or printing it on your business cards. The main reason is because a blog url will often look like this:
www.TheFlirtGuide.blogspot.com
www.TheFlirtyGuide.wordpress.com
Imagine if you could use a shorter url like:
www.TheFlirtyGuide.com
www.TheFlirtyBlog.com
See the difference? Well worth the $8 or $9 a year to register the url right?
