Ok, I will go through the entire process step by step explaining to you how to create a blog with Elementor and WordPress theme really fast.
I assume that by this time you have already registered a hosting account and installed WordPress there (if not - go through this Easy As LEGO tutorial). After that, you found a Monstroid2 theme and understood it will be ideal for your blog. Following the Wizard you have already installed the Monstroid2 WordPress theme, chosen skin, and activated plugins. When the theme was released, it had about 20 skins.
The developers add one more skin every week and there are 48 of them by now. I am going to create a simple blog, so I have chosen the "Johny" blog skin. I will use it as an example but you can repeat all the actions with the skin you preferred the most. By the way, any time you would like to change the skin you can go to the dashboard and than Monstroid2 > Skins. All the available skins are listed there and by pressing the "Install" button you will replace the previous skin with the new one.
You can choose any plugins you like but I strongly recommend you to activate Elementor, JetThemeCore, JetElements, ContactForm7, JetBlocks, JetBlog, JetTricks, and JetMenu. As for the demo content - select ‘Append demo content to my existing content’ if you don't want some of your existing content to be harmed.
Now, when the design is generally set, the first thing to customize is the menu. Navigate to the Appearance section on the Dashboard > Menus. Select Main Menu to customize its structure. I am going to build a little blog, so I remove all the "custom link"-type menu options and replace them with pages "Blog", "About me", and "My contacts". Click ‘Save’ after. If you need more details about creating a nice menu - check out this WordPress Theme Customization tutorial.
it is time to start the appearance customization and to be consistent - let's take a look at the header first. Go to the Monstroid2 > My library to see all the theme parts you can apply to your web page. I will start with a Header and click ‘Edit with Elementor’. Now you see the header which is ready for customization. I will grab a .PNG file from the Media Library and edit it with the help of the Content, Style, and Advanced tabs. Header Settings > Conditions menu allows you to choose where you want to apply the header. Click ‘Save changes’ after.
Now, go back to the WordPress dashboard, choose Footer and click ‘Edit with Elementor’ to customize it. Change the default logo with your own and edit the size, padding, and margin. Add your links to social media and change the description. The Content/Style/Advanced tabs allow you to customize it to your liking (background, description, typography, colors, etc.). Navigate to the Newsletter section to change the ‘Subscribe’ text. The copyright message can also be edited or removed completely. Once you are done with the footer, click ‘Update’. Byt the way, if you want to read more about header and footer customization - take a look at this Monstroid2 Guide.
When the header and footer are complete you can move to the body design and content. Go to the Pages menu in the dashboard and edit them one by one. Click ‘Edit with Elementor’ to start customization.
You can make your blog page or homepage a little more interesting by adding a blog post list. Our How to Set Up the Blog Post List With Elementor will tell you how to do it.
And now let's do some more appearance customization. Go to Appearance > Customize in your dashboard. In the "Blog Settings" tab you will find the options to change the Layout and Style preset. Then go to Colors while you are on a Live Customizer page. Here you can choose a color scheme to match your style. The Typography tab allows you to edit the look of all the text you display. Click ‘Publish’ afterward to apply all the changes. If you want to know all the options that Live Customizer offers - go through the How to Customize Your Blog Design? tutorial.
Do the same customization to all other pages. Get back to the dashboard and jump to the About Me page. Click ‘Edit with Elementor’ to start customization. Replace the image, add the text, etc. Also, you can get back to your homepage and grab some settings you have already used to create a template. Proceed with the About section, replace an image, and apply the template created before. Navigate to My Skills section. You can insert an image, edit a headline, and update the text. The default Contact section can be removed, and I am using the template of the contact form, which was previously styled and saved. Do not forget to update the page after your edits.
When everything is done - don't forget to check out all the pages created. You want your blog to look perfectly, don't you? The final check won't take too much time but could help you see some minor bugs you missed earlier.
The popularity of the internet is growing very fast, and every day a lot of new users are wondering how to create a blog and promote their project.
