Advice for a Newbie overwhelmed with info

[ad_1]

I am trying to build a pretty simple blog, with articles and how-to’s about relevant topics to my industry. I don’t really need anything special. No ads for now, etc

*Somehow this has been really difficult. So far I have:*

\-Bought a domain

\-Hosted it on Bluehost

\-Connected Bluehost with WordPress

\-created posts, tags etc on WordPress

From here I have gotten lost in trying to find a theme/editor that works and doesn’t cost an arm and a leg.

Questions I have

\-Are there actually free themes that will work for a blog? (All I have tried have very limited customization or don’t work on all size monitors etc)

\-Is it worth it to pay for a theme?

\-What is the best route between a paid theme or something like Generatepress or Elementor?

I just need to build a simple blog that works! I had no idea in the year 2023 it would be this difficult. (I will accept Some of my challenges may be user error)

  1. Go to Appearance > Themes…. they’re all free themes. And most of them are fine for a blog.
