Well, I started writing a DIY on how to make a Wordpress Blog over at my Ad Optimization blog and it got rather long.  But I do tell you how to make a Wordpress blog with all the bells and whistles in just 2 hours and also what “skills” you’d need to do it that fast.

If you are thinking about designing blogs for a living, this will definitely of great help in getting things done faster.

Here’s an excerpt:

1. I go to GoDaddy.com and register domain.  As soon as I register, I point the DNS to one of my dedicated servers.  As long as you set the IP within 5 minute time frame, your domain will be live in less than 5 minutes.  I find that GoDaddy is the best domain company out there today and part of the reason I can do this fast is that their systems run fast too.  (Don’t use Network Solutions btw, they are one of the worst I’ve used)

Time to do this for me: 10 minutes

2. I SSH2 into my dedicated server, download the latest Wordpress software, load all the plugins, activate the blog, do various setup for the blog.

Time to do this for me: 15 minutes

3. I load one of my blog themes and customize the CSS layout and colors.

Time to do this for me: 15 minutes

4. Design a logo, favicons on Photoshop, load it onto the blog as quickly as I can.

Time to do this for me: 30 minutes

5. Do 5 blog posts.

Time to do this for me: 30 minutes

Well, that’s total of 1 hour and 40 minutes to setup a brand new blog with a brand new design.
