   Hi, Sincere. I’d start like this:
   * Go to wordpress.com
   * Set up a free blog
   * If you want your own domain (for example, http://answersforteens.com instead of answersforteens.wordpress.com), sign up for the premium service and get the domain *now*. If your blog becomes successful, you’ll want your own domain name, and changing it will be hard once the blog is up and running.
   * Practice posting a few blog posts and then delete them, just to be sure you know how WordPress works.
   * Now put up a few sample questions and answers.

   That should take care of the technical part. Now the real challenge is getting teens to know about the site. You might want to contact local school and guidance counselors to spread the word. Or have guest answerers from Big Brothers/Big Sisters, or Boys/Girls clubs, or Girl/Boy Scouts, etc. and get them engaged in promoting the site to their organizations.

   You’ll get a better response, I suspect, if you target the questions around certain life areas (“Study tips for teens” or “How to start your first business” or “Surviving Middle School.”)
