TTMA Your Blog

[cnf2013]

I use WordPress self hosted, but I get some trickle in money and products for reviewing on mine, so I don't mind paying for Web hosting. WordPress is basically the industry standard and you can do a free blog through wordpress.com. no coding knowledge required. Everything is coded on the back end and you just add on widgets, theme, etc. They have great customer service too so just call if you need help and they'll walk you through everything, but you probably won't need to.

I blog because I love to write and use it to keep track of triathlon training and I kept track of my pregnancy. The small kickbacks I get are just nice perks.

Here's mine if you want to see. I just use free themes and add-ons. I only pay for my Web hosting but everything else is basic and I did entirely by myself and don't know anything about Internet technology.

If you want to talk in detail or want any help you can always pm me and I'll try help. Baby takes her long nap around noon so I can grab my laptop and try to help you tomorrow should you want any

I use weebly for my ttc blog and I also have a blog with new recipes. Sometimes it's hard to keep up with.

When I first got my nice camera, I started a blog through blogger, I think, the Google one. Most of the posts were just whatever I was trying out or working on. But then I found weekly photo challenges and did those. Blogged about them, and got some followers who were also doing them. Then I started doing photos for friends and would post about that too. It was fun, but I kinda fell out of doing it. I think it would be cool if you could set up a regular schedule. Kinda like here even. Mondays are one thing. Wednesdays are another thing. Loosely based you know? Maybe there are cooking challenges, and you could do Pinterest days or cookcook days, crock pot days, etc. Good luck!!

I run a blog with a few friends and we use Wordpress. Definitely not making us any money but it is fun to write. Twitter is a big source of hits for the blog so maybe set up an account at the same time?

I also just started an Etsy store which has been keeping me really occupied. Do you have something you could make and sell? It's a fun pass time and makes me feel less badly about all the fabric I buy!

I don't have a blog but I do use weebly for my teacher website and online teaching portfolio which I sometimes write blog type things on. I think it's easy to use.

I'm unfortunately terrible at crafting although that would be really fun if I could make anything that looked like it hadn't been made by a preschooler

I'm not crafty either, but this is a great idea. If you have something that you can offer or showcase it's a great way to get it out there. My blog is how I get the majority of my athletes for my coaching business since I have a contact space for it that gets emailed directly to me.
