Learn How to Blog

I  learned how to blog last year. At 52 years old,  I am shaking out the cobwebs and embracing all that is new and relevant.

I started with a free Google blog called Blogger. You too can start one in minutes, for free. This is perfect for personal blogs or family blogs. You can even make it private and only share it with family and friends.

I quickly outgrew the Google blog so I bought a few books and tried to learn how to set up my own professional blog. Ha! Good thing I didn’t know what I didn’t know or I would have saved the money on the books. With little experience, I quickly got bogged down. I stayed frustrated for the better part of  2008.

I finally found a wonderful “tech guy” to help me.  If you want to learn how to blog or need help improving your blog, I highly recommend Joel at  blog tech guy.

For an investment of about $300, you can have a professional Word Press blog like  More With Less Today  right away. You can learn the finer points as you go. Joel has the patience of a saint and we work together online. We have never met in person although he knows me well! After the initial set-up I work with Joel and pay his hourly rate. I typically spend about an hour a month with him and pay $70.00. You will be dazzled with how much he can teach you in one hour. I save my questions in an email draft as they come up and then I fire away!  His prices are so reasonable and he never makes me feel stupid no matter how ignorant my question is. I love this guy!

I just wanted to write in my blog.  I didn’t want to have to learn programming and HTML codes first. Now after about 8 months of using Word Press, my understanding has grown by leaps and bounds. When I get stuck,  Joel is just an email away and his response time is quick. 

If you want to write to me directly, my email address is lorijfelix@gmail.com. I will be happy to try and answer your questions to help you to learn how to blog. I am confident that I can help you to set up the free Google blog. I can also give you some websites that I read to learn all the bells and whistles that a Word Press blog offers.

Next, I am learning about e-newsletter using a program called Constant Contact. In addition to my blog, I plan to send out e-newsletters segmented by relevant topics.  I hope you will subscribe.

My blog is my hobby and I search every day to find the best money-saving tips, deals and sites for my readers. My goal is to make this an encouraging, useful site bursting with great information, for FREE!
