In general, I don't think WordPress.com hosted sites are a great option because you don't get the flexibility of Blogspot's templates or the power of WordPress theme/plugin system. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/id-like-to-start-a-blog-where-to-start#post-63935 Tue, 31 Jan 2012 15:24:10 +0000 Rubies 63935@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I started my blog, I meant to document my pregnancy and it turned into just documenting my life as I'm living it. I had ONE person reading my blog and now more people have found my blog. For me, blogging is just for me to talk about what's happening in my life. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/id-like-to-start-a-blog-where-to-start#post-63931 Tue, 31 Jan 2012 15:19:33 +0000 chopsuey 63931@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sslm: Nice!

It would be amazing if it got to be successful, but I don't have high expectations... </p> <p>I love to bake, and am learning to sew, and we do little projects around the house, so I am thinking some combination of those things. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/id-like-to-start-a-blog-where-to-start#post-63912 Tue, 31 Jan 2012 15:10:28 +0000 chopsuey 63912@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do you want to blog for fun or profit? Both? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/id-like-to-start-a-blog-where-to-start#post-63911 Tue, 31 Jan 2012 15:08:26 +0000 sslm 63911@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>On my 30 before 30 list is "start blogging". Does anyone have any tips? Maybe once I'm pregnant I can blog for hellobee? *wink</p> <p>But seriously, how do I get started? I'm scared my life isn't interesting enough. </p>
