Finding My Way Through the Blog Maze

Web Hosting. BLUEHOST.COM is my choice. I have worked with many website providers and to date, this is the best yet. They offer all the products I need to host this site, and service is first rate. I have the option to email or call tech support 24/7. I have not been bashful about picking up the phone and in every case, the technical support has solved my problem.

This blog uses The Thesis Theme for WordPress. There are a lot of free WordPress themes you can get, but I kept running across Chris Pearson’s name with rave reviews. I fancy myself a bit of a techy girl. My knowledge of blogging is on the upward learning curve, and I only scratch the surface on CSS, HTML and PHP. Learn more about how much you can do with this theme by visiting the Thesis Theme for WordPress website and watch the video.

The Thesis Theme allows you to do WordPress updates with very little reprogramming. There is an extensive forum area where the other users are very helpful if you run into trouble.

Autoresponders and Email Service Provider. Feedblitz is the choice I made for RSS Feed service and AWeber for sending out the Elephants at Work Newsletter/email. I did the research, looking at Constant Contact, iContact and a host of other providers. I went to a number of reputable blogs such as Seth’s, to see what service he was using to communicate with his readers.

Affiliate Ads. I do use affiliate ads on this site for two reasons – I use the product personally and am satisfied with the results or the ad is intended to supplement or support a thought or idea. There is a small; I do mean small, benefit to me if you should choose to purchase the services or product.
