First Post.  How I chose a blogging site...

3/5/2014

 
I've had the idea of starting a site dedicated to the random projects I work on in my spare time for a while.  Only recently though did I start asking around and doing some research about what exactly I wanted.  Most of all, I was hoping to find an easy way to share all the stuff I learn along the way while working on things.  It's rare that I'm working on something and cannot find the answer with some googling, but finding everything I need together in one spot is fairly uncommon.  Almost every project teaches me something new, so i am just hoping to compile all that helpful knowledge in one area.

What I had in mind was basically like Evernote, but with a domain.  After some research, I finally happened upon Postach.io, which looks exactly like what I wanted.  By time I saw this, I had already seen some of the other options and was fairly intrigued in those as well.  I checked out some web hosting sites, but when I started going through the process, it look like more work than I was anticipating.  I'm happy to learn new code, but would rather concentrate on code other than HTML, CSS, Java for the time being. 
Here are some links I found that was helpful for web hosting.

Here are my specifications.
  • Cheap
  • Custom domain
  • Easy to use
  • Good looking templates


After seeing a demo of Weebly, I like the idea of drag and drop design.  I learned long ago that I'm not very good with aesthetics, so having some themes I could choose from seemed helpful.  Wordpress was recommended as well, but I was slightly turned off by the a-la-cart upgrades.  More googling provided more blogging providers, but all seemed fairly similar, and I was getting tired of researching...
Weebly was cheaper providing more features, so I went with that.  Through the sign up process of getting my own domain, I was disappointed at how much a custom domain turned out to be, but oh well, it's mine for a couple of years now.
Let the adventure into the world wide web begin.  I'm only 8 to 10 years behind the time?....

Choosing a blogging site is not a really hard thing to do. There are many blogging sites available to be used for free. If you are creative or artistic, I suggest that you use Tumblr because you get to edit the overall appearance of your blog. You can also edit the font size, font style, and font color. But if you want something that is already customized for you, you can try using Weebly because the themes are already customized so you can just choose from one of their collection of blog themes.

That is a good question that everyone asks themselves including myself when I first got started. There is really no right place or wrong place to go to when you are looking for the best internet marketing training available.
