Creating an WordPress blog offline local and hosted later

I am planning to create a blog based on WordPress platform. I read some books and blogs about how to use this framework. The question is, it's a good practice to install WordPress local and create the blog offline (add a Thema, content, etc. ) and later to order the domain, hosting or it's a good idea first to make it public with fewer contents and to add more articles, plugins, SEO techniques on the way?
