Thank you!

Wordpress. I'm a novice and it was easy for me to set up and maintain. How did you come up with your blog name? It was a combination of something I enjoy doing and another word for inspiration. Do your friends/family know about your blog? My husband does, and he loves to refer to himself as Hubs because that's how I reference him. I keep all names off line. Only 1-2 other people IRL know about it, a few subscribers from here though. What kind of blog is it? Baby, home decor, cooking, fashion, etc. Mostly baby right now. It varies, depending on what's going on in my life. How often do you post on it? I used to post 2-3 times a week, but right now I'm at about 2-3 times a month. I love getting comments and new subscribers. When we have the "post your blog" threads, I usually see a spike in readers. :) ladyfingers on "Blog Questions" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/blog-questions#post-253246 Thu, 09 Aug 2012 14:18:00 +0000 ladyfingers 253246@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Do you use Blogger, Wordpress, etc? Wordpress How did you come up with your blog name? I wrote a little blurb about myself for the "About" page and ended up taking a phrase out of there. It was a list of things I liked doing and I thought one particular pairing just sounded cool. Do your friends/family know about your blog? Some do, but I don't think anybody reads it. The only family that knows about it is my husband. What kind of blog is it? Baby, home decor, cooking, fashion, etc. Right now, kind of a combination of home decor, personal (what we did this weekend) kinda stuff, and baby (tobe). How often do you post on it? I try to post three times a week but lately I've sucked at it, mostly because I was so tired my first trimester to do anything to blog about. Blogging is fun though, especially when you get comments and stuff! howjoyful on "Blog Questions" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/blog-questions#post-253240 Thu, 09 Aug 2012 14:12:48 +0000 howjoyful 253240@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I currently have two blogs, my personal blog and a Baby blog, the personal one on Wordpress (self hosted) I migrated there mostly because of the traffic and possibilities you have design-wise with Wordpress, I love it - but for my baby blog I stayed with Blogger, it's basically a diary I'm writing for the baby so it doesn't have much traffic. I am a Web Designer and I wrote a comparison table to help people decide what would be better depending on what they want, maybe it can help you: <a href="http://www.hjdstudio.com/2011/08/blogging-platform-comparison-table/" rel="nofollow">http://www.hjdstudio.com/2011/08/blogging-platform-comparison-table/</a> For my personal blog I wanted something with my name Joy, and since every domain in my list but HowJoyful was taken, I stayed with that =] All of my family know about my personal blog, but not everyone know about my baby blog, I've shared the link only once on my personal blog and I like that is not so-public =] My personal blog is about Design, Crafts, Sewing and a little bit about my life. I used to blog 4 times a week, but now that I am on bed rest I schedule only 1 post a week. Wishing you luck and I would totally recommend you to start a blog, I started mine to improve my English and now I just LOVE it! tororojo on "Blog Questions" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/blog-questions#post-253235 Thu, 09 Aug 2012 14:07:56 +0000 tororojo 253235@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I have a personal one one Wordpress that I don't update anymore, but before I signed up I did some research and I think it's a great option--easy for dummies (i.e. me), or you can do complicated stuff to make it pretty and professional. Only my husband and sister know about mine, and I have a couple of random subscribers. I thought about the name for a really long time--just do some thinking on what you'll write about, your personality and likes, etc and I'm sure something good will come to you eventually! I decided on a name while sitting in traffic one day. The least creative names are the ones starting with "Random musings of ___/A day in the life of ____/____'s exciting thoughts, etc" photomommy on "Blog Questions" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/blog-questions#post-253225 Thu, 09 Aug 2012 13:57:11 +0000 photomommy 253225@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I have a blog for my business.
