Set Up a Wordpress Blog
Creating a WordPress Blog for your business can be exciting and fun but many business owners don’t know where to start. On tonight’s edition of Business Connections Live, we talk to Rafi Akbar – Founder and CEO of Luckywebs about how to choose a Domain, install WordPress and customize the look of your websites Theme.

Startups are the important building blocks of future business. They need websites and blogs that represents what they do online. But no one seems to know the best place to start; how to work out a budget, how much time to put in, what to do themselves and what to do via others. Backing up a website, securing it, getting it up the pecking order in Google, how to add content, how to add images the right way and avoid copyright issues. Luckywebs was set up to address all these challenges a startup face when setting up a website on a budget.
