The Blogging Experiment inspired by Entrecard

Entrecard is holding their own blogging experiment so it gave me inspiration for starting one of my own. This will take place over the next few months. And the site I am using for this experiment won’t be just a blog. It will also have a wiki and forum but I am concentrating on the blog portion first.

I will not disclose the URl just yet but I will say that it is a fansite for a television show. In this experiment I will be using only free resources, since most bloggers starting out have no or very low funds for all the jazzy softwares and advertising.

The only thing that I may have to spend money on is banner ads but I might be able to do them myself. Of course not all good things are free but I am known for looking for the free alternative. No worries I will share all resources with you.

I will be disclosing the domain later on in the experiment although people will probably be able to guess from the banner ads when I have them done.

In my one of my next posts I will talk about the two main ways of installing wordpress as well as a third option. Amazingly many people have been asking for such a post And now I will provide it.

Of course, off the bat you can tell that i am doing things differently then Graham. For example, I am not starting optimization just yet. I am currently creating my own wordpress theme for the site, so i will also provide resources on how I learned to do that :D.

So off we go!

Update: I should also mention that two things that i NEED to spend money on is a domain and hosting. Of course, I will provide information on the most affordable options
