JUMP INTO THE BLOG WORLD
The word blog - a contraction of web and log - is an active, online diary where people can post messages and others may view & respond to the posts. Blog's have become quite popular so you may wish to add one to your site and you can include pictures, sound & video as well.

Blog's are also a very effective way to promote your website because search engines tend to visit blog's much faster, and with more frequency, than regular website's. We've observed Google -- and blog news aggregators -- visiting blog's within hours of posting information. This means that your "posts" could be included in news sites that feature blog output as well as in the major search engines.


HOW MUCH DOES IT COST?
FREE. Yep, you can have a FREE Blog at for example, WordPress. Unlike website hosters, who charge, WordPress hosts Blog's for FREE.

There is only a one-time Design fee:
to set-up & customize your Blog so that it resembles your website or, if you just want a Blog, we charge an hourly Rate of $65.00. This hourly price includes custom graphics, editing content, using high-volume SEO keywords and a Blog Tutorial so that you can take over once the Blog design is finished (which is the point...you can then read & write to your Blog from any computer, anywhere in the world!).
Begin by choosing whom you wish to host your Blog. Then decide upon a name because you'll need that for Set-Up. Below, we recommend two FREE Blog sites. Once you sign up, we can start creating it for you and then place the link to your Blog on your website (if you have one).

HOW DO I GET ONE?
Many Blog Hosters will be happy to take your money, but you really do have some excellent FREE choices. Go see for yourself what the Blog world is all about:

  • Free Blog at Wordpress.com| WORDPRESS is one of the more aesthetic (and safe) Blog sites. We love Wordpress! You can blog as much as you want for free, your blog can be public to the world or private for just your friends, and their paid upgrades are completely optional. They give you space for 5 images...if you want more, then you upgrade for a nominal fee.
  • Free Blog at Yahoo.com | YAHOO is much plainer but also safe and you should always be concerned about safety on the web. Blog's are usually composed of one or more blog entries. Each entry can have its own title and always says the date and time you published it. Blog's show the last entry first, and you can scroll down to read earlier entries. So it's like a reverse diary.
  • Jump in...water's fine.
