  1. I watched Video #1:
    I know I want a blog but I’m not sure whether to do a front page blog or a back page blog. I would think that people would tend to read a front page blog more than they would go to a back page one. I’m also wondering if the search engines pick up front page blogs better?

  2. You’re absolutely right, Teresa. Home page all the way if you want the best results. See box on page 12 in Start Smart. Pages 8 – 12 in the guide are all about blogs and making decisions.

  3. I’ve watched video 1 and can’t wait to get going with video 2. I can’t afford a web designer or professional headshots just yet so I’ll be doing things myself as I have a little experience with WordPress. I’ve set myself a deadline of 23 May 12 to get my version launched then I’m hoping by 23 July 12 I can afford to have it professionally re-done 🙂

  5. Working on my check list and delighted to get started on this adventure!
    It was helpful to see the various aspects of the websites to which you referred. Super!

    As Rhonda K wrote, I too greatly appreciate having the PDF. It enhances the experience for many of us of this learning style. Thanks.

      1. I agree, the checklists are helping to keep me focused in an area which represents a huge learning curve for me. Thank you for the really clear format, Rhonda!
