Hi everyone,

I hope you are doing well. I’m also doing great. Today I’m going to talk about the Hobby that I have picked up recently. Let’s deep dive into it.

I have been thinking about building a website for myself. Since I’m so into writing, I thought it’s necessary to build my own website so that I can share my views and perspective with the whole world. And I think, as a human being it is necessary that we keep some footmarks on Earth where people can follow you or at least you can show people that you have worked on something.

What got me into website building?

Simple, I wanted to make myself recognized to the world. I know I have grab over Social Medias, Blogs and now I need a better tool to make myself recognizable.

I have been working on WordPress since 2022. I used it mostly for writing blogs, and also create portfolio for my masters. It helped me a lot to build up an online footprint. During my masters, I have created portfolio’s for the subjects that I have studied. Besides I also had a track of what I was doing with the help of WordPress. Then when I finished my masters, I was thinking about building it further. I thought why not have my own website out of it?

And then I started researching on how to build a website. I could start it with wordpress.com but I’ve found out it’s very limited for the advanced users. It’s not that I am an advanced user but I was also thinking about making my website business portfolio and also create my own online shop someday. So I didn’t use the package provided by the wordpress.com. Instead, I found out WordPress.org is cheaper and more user friendly. But I have to do everything on my own. And the best part of WordPress.org is that it has less limitations in comparison to WordPress.com. It gives full freedom to users, where and how the users want to build their websites.

So I was using Microsoft co-pilot for my research on how to build up a website on wordpress.org. The process was not that very easy because I was completely a new bie. So I first started with the Xamp app. But the Xamp wasn’t the best one for building up a website. Because it crashes a lot and honestly speaking, it was quite a hassle to build a website. Everytime there was an error, I had to almost start from scratch or I had to go through a lot of struggle. Then I asked co-pilot, to provide me an alternative. It’s suggested me to switch to local WP. And it was a bit better from the previous one.

The best part of local WP was that the building of an website and backing up the website was easier in comparison to Xamp app. However, if you don’t have a powerful laptop/computer, local WP can be very sluggish. However, the good thing here is that I have learned a lot about websites and a lot of things in this process.

First, I knew that wordpress.org gives a lot of freedom in terms of plug-ins and woo commerce online webshop building. Then I get to know Kadence block building which helped me a lot to build up my website block by block. Then I get to know backup plug-ins that helped me to migrate my website to Hostinger. When everything was done, I successfully migrated my website to Hostinger. But it was not the end. It was just the beginning. Then I get to know how to use Google analytics, how to set SEO for my website, how to use Jetpack for my WordPress.org website.

Since the beginning of building my website, I’m constantly learning. I also learned something today. Like today, I have researched how to use llms.txt inorder to make my website visible on AI search engines. And I must admit, building my website has taught me about a lot of things.

I must admit that it was a good investment not just in terms of making a good hobby outside of it but also learn a lot of things and how things work.

So that’s how I started my journey of building a website. Thank you very much for reading my post. I hope you liked it. Feel free to subscribe my blog if you like it.

Thank you very much and have a nice day.
