Will you host with them? Or link pictures in? Will they be resized? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-hosting-plan-would-you-pick-for-a-personal-blog#post-2407389 Sat, 02 Jan 2016 20:33:13 +0000 Mrs. Pink 2407389@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes wordpress.org!</p> <p>I've used blogger and Wordpress.com too and preferred having self hosted! I'll check name cheap too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-hosting-plan-would-you-pick-for-a-personal-blog#post-2407341 Sat, 02 Jan 2016 18:47:26 +0000 littlejoy 2407341@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm assuming it'll be a self-hosted blog? Like Wordpress.org vs. Wordpress.com? I do my hosting through namecheap.com. I use their shared hosting, which has been really awesome. I like their pricing structure, but also their customer service is amazing!! They are available for online chat 24/7, and have so far been able to help me with any issues. I have a 10 gig plan for 2 different sites, and have 5+ years of data on each.</p> <p>Eta: have you checked out the free blogs through Wordpress.com? They have some amazing free templates, and inexpensive premium templates for more flexibility. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-hosting-plan-would-you-pick-for-a-personal-blog#post-2407340 Sat, 02 Jan 2016 18:46:26 +0000 mrbee 2407340@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pink: 50 GB seems like plenty to me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-hosting-plan-would-you-pick-for-a-personal-blog#post-2407320 Sat, 02 Jan 2016 17:54:12 +0000 Mrs. Pink 2407320@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm planning to start keeping a personal blog again but it's been awhile and I can't for the life of me recall what my last hosting plan was (or who it was even with....)</p> <p>I know HB has a special promo with Bluehost-- and the prices are pretty good-- but I'm stuck on which plan to choose! Do I need more than 50GB of website space? More than 150? I don't have anything to import so it'd be starting out fresh.</p> <p>[attach=1883/16/o0ckyc.600x293.Screen-Shot-2016-01-02-at-2.50.35-PM.png] </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/december-blog-share#post-1285029 Mon, 16 Dec 2013 17:02:45 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 1285029@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Added you both to my Bloglovin' reader!

Really backed up, but the product has to be 200 plus. That would be tough in this situation. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/looking-for-popular-designhomecooking-blogs#post-1194394 Mon, 04 Nov 2013 09:11:13 +0000 lemondrop 1194394@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Young House Love comes right to mind. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/looking-for-popular-designhomecooking-blogs#post-1194371 Mon, 04 Nov 2013 08:50:40 +0000 Mrs. Cat in the Cradle 1194371@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A friend has decided to take a lifelong hobby of handmaking pottery and try to turn it into a successful side or possibly even full time business. He's pretty good, and has done some local sales at festivals and an art gallery, but needs to step up his online presence. I suggested he contact a popular design, home, or possibly even cooking blogger to do a giveaway. </p> <p>The problem is that even though I know giveaways happen a lot, I don't really partake of that type of blog. So, ladies, what popular blogs that fit the above description do giveaways?</p> <p>Edited to add: YHL is obviously high up there, but according to their FAQ page the product has to be a minimum of 200 dollars. That would be kind of difficult with this type of product. Obviously, awesome suggestion, though, as the exposure would be high! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-to-be-an-expert-to-use-wordpress-grrr#post-1150875 Tue, 15 Oct 2013 12:13:36 +0000 Vegmama 1150875@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I really recommend using ProPhoto blogs along with WP. It's really amazing, and so user friendly! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-to-be-an-expert-to-use-wordpress-grrr#post-1150013 Tue, 15 Oct 2013 01:57:12 +0000 sunny 1150013@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wordpress definitely has more of a learning curve than Blogger or other tools. But the tradeoff is so much more flexibility. I would say stick with it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-to-be-an-expert-to-use-wordpress-grrr#post-1149919 Mon, 14 Oct 2013 22:24:19 +0000 mrbee 1149919@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@irene: Webmaster rates are all over the place... but they tend to be very high for the good ones. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-to-be-an-expert-to-use-wordpress-grrr#post-1149913 Mon, 14 Oct 2013 22:20:50 +0000 irene 1149913@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: How much do they charge? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-to-be-an-expert-to-use-wordpress-grrr#post-1149888 Mon, 14 Oct 2013 21:37:44 +0000 mrbee 1149888@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@irene: I have some designer friends who barter design work for webmastering work... might be a good way to get work like this done well and cost effectively! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-to-be-an-expert-to-use-wordpress-grrr#post-1149864 Mon, 14 Oct 2013 21:18:41 +0000 irene 1149864@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@wheres_c: I do!

I don't even know how to check or do that. I didn't particularly lock anything up! Grrr.. Can I just delete the whole directory and install from scratch?

I tried to use wordpress and I was confused by it so I use blogger. I thought it was more user friendly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-to-be-an-expert-to-use-wordpress-grrr#post-1148832 Mon, 14 Oct 2013 11:16:45 +0000 irene 1148832@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I actually installed wordpress onto my server back in 2010 (!) but didn't do much with it, but recently I really wanted to start a blog for downloadable printables / DIY projects and miscellaneous things / photography / design. </p> <p>So I went back to what I have installed in 2010, and I am lost in the clouds. I attempted to change the logo I uploaded in 2010, but when I want to reload another image, it said the directory couldn't be created. I tried to hide that stupid calendar on the side bar, it won't go away! Grrr????</p> <p>I saw a handful of nice templates too and thought I could just start from scratch with it. Do I just delete everything I had before from my server and start from scratch?</p> <p>Note that I used to work in the web industry in late 1990 to 2000. I used to be the queen of HTML back in the days and I could build anything! Well, I went off to design for a different media since. 13 years passed and I am back to square one of knowing nothing!!! But I thought things are supposed to be much easier to use now that the human beings has 20 years of experience on useability?? Or did I just got dumber? :sad: </p> <p>Any advices is welcomed!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnant-bloggers#post-704661 Wed, 10 Apr 2013 09:34:01 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 704661@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At 12 weeks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnant-bloggers#post-704659 Wed, 10 Apr 2013 09:33:39 +0000 mrsjyw 704659@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I came out at 13 weeks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnant-bloggers#post-704619 Wed, 10 Apr 2013 09:20:48 +0000 .twist. 704619@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I came out at 12 weeks.
