That might sound insulting as I like your content too, but it's the fit. Every bit counts. Have shied away from website because I don't care at this point if I learn to do it, conquer its technology. And I certainly am not ready to pay anyone. So my blog is my website for now. Thanks for your insights and thoughts on writing Susan. LynLyn G.

She's a successful writer in her own right. I've enjoyed the process of setting up this one, but I'm not as enthusiastic as you are, Rae. I'll check out your site again.Susan Oleksiwhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02693057997469296068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2642483803813231715.post-45944202015773198342011-12-01T04:13:00.801-08:002011-12-01T04:13:00.801-08:00In theory, I like having both a website and a blog...In theory, I like having both a website and a blog because the website can be used to hold reviews, a newsroom page, etc. The problem, just as Susan says, is regular maintenance. I don't maintain my website and have to pay someone to do this for me. If there was a way to do everything on my blog, I would. My website is very siimple, like my blog. It's an iWeb template and I could learn to update it myself. I don't because it's a bit more time-consuming. I've got four blogs at the moment! The only one I use regularly right now is freefallrae. I love blogs and could spend my life in blogland.Rae Padilla Francoeurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12947478286024083573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2642483803813231715.post-75048797874178925752011-11-30T16:54:55.968-08:002011-11-30T16:54:55.968-08:00We have the same template, obviously.

It has everything I need, and I can easily do all the editing. You can track the stats on visitors, too, by going to your dashboard, clicking Design, and then clicking Stats. Fun stuff.Edith Maxwellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01388006370860482509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2642483803813231715.post-26471453858845127872011-11-30T16:12:45.148-08:002011-11-30T16:12:45.148-08:00Edith, I did look at yours along with some others....Edith, I did look at yours along with some others. I've wanted to be able to manage my own blog for quite a while and decided now was the time. I hate having to make a list of things for the web maven to do, and then wait. I tend to procrastinate on those things, but now I'm hoping it will be much easier.Susan Oleksiwhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02693057997469296068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2642483803813231715.post-15872592146809354392011-11-30T16:02:08.163-08:002011-11-30T16:02:08.163-08:00I like the blog, Susan.
