What You Need to Know
I received a message on my cell phone and I have not returned the call. I am not sure how to answer the question my friend is asking. She knows that I have had a blog on the Internet for a few years. She wants to know all about setting up a blog. I keep putting off calling her back because I am not an expert at setting up a blog. In fact, if she knew the hassle I went through when I set up my blog, she would know that I am not the one to turn to for guidance.
There are so many decisions to make when setting up a website. She would need to decide whether to have a blog through a free web hosting service and not have complete control over her blog. She might decide she wants to be able to advertise with her blog and need control over her content. She would have to invest some money in a hosting service.
If she decides to go with a hosting service she needs to pick one that fits her needs. There are so many that I would not know where to begin to give her advice. She needs to study all her options. Better yet, she needs to read a good web hosting blog like Webhostinggeeks.com. They have the knowledge to help her. They explain things so much better than I ever could. I wish I had known about Webhostinggeeks.com when I started my blog. I could have saved myself a lot of wasted time with the free service I began with. Now that I know what I want out of my blog, I know more what I need in hosting.
Once she reads the valuable information at the blog, then she can look at the reviews and rating page at Webhostinggeeks.com. They list the top hosting companies and then tell why and how they received their ranking. The top hosting service companies are ranked by service, quality and other criteria. Here is another time that I wish I had known about Webhostinggeeks.com. The first hosting service I went with had terrible customer service. I see that they didn’t even make it on the list at Webhostinggeeks.com.
Webhostinggeeks.com gives information about the latest news and trends concerning online hosting. I am steering my friend to their blog and website. It is time for me to return her call.

I feel blessed because a relative helped me set up my blog. I had no clue how to do it. My blog has worked great for me.
Visit my site to get the details.
By the way, I’ve given you an award for your blog.

Decisions. Decisions. I’ve been blogging since March and I didn’t know so much went into them. Great advice.

I have a sister of a friend who is emailing me asking me all about it. I flat out told her that I don’t know how to set up from scratch (cause my sister did it for me!).

I’ve helped a few people, but I’ve avoided my MIL and SIL when it comes to blogging. Some things, they don’t need to know.

I’ve point her at a free one like blogger.com and then the set up it very easy and 100% free.
