Pinned

-
I created my first pin today.  It didn't take long, just a few minutes.   Of course, I have no idea if it is findable on Pinterest or not.  But I did it.   

I tried reading some blogs to figure out how to do it, but they were talking more about the design of the Pin instead of how to actually do it, so I just went straight to Pinterest and followed the steps on creating a pin.

My next move will be to study how to actually use Pinterest to bring viewers (and money, yay!) to my site.

I'll keep you posted.

Locked out

I never had the chance to work on my blog yesterday evening.  Between bicycling to swim lessons (car is in the shop), cooking dinner (salmon and veggies, it was good), and general cleaning, homework and after school activities, it just didn't happen.    I didn't think much of it, I mean, I could always work on it at work during my breaks.  Well, it ends up that is a no go. Apparently my work blocked my website due to threat levels.  So now, I cannot work on it during the time of day when I have the most time on the computer.   I am not sure how this will affect the overall growth of the blog, but it is definitely a set back. Perhaps I can pay for the security clearance that Siteground offered?  I didn't know what that was when they originally offered it, but it looks like it may be something I should invest in, since if I can't view it on my work's network, how many other people will not be able to view it because of their security settings as...

My money blog journey

-
Hi.   So...what is this blog exactly?   This is my journey to see if someone (mainly me) can actually make money by writing a blog. Let's be clear.  I've had a personal blog for the past 7 years, so I have experience writing a blog, but I've never tried to make money from it.  In fact, it's private, so money was never a factor when starting that blog.  But now...well, I need money.  Also, I have been writing professionally for years so it's not like I'm just out of the blue deciding to write and try to get paid for it.  I do have some experience, although it is a mixed bag.  I've had millions of views from my articles published through familyshare.com, but my novel published late last year never took off.  If you're interested in it, you can check it out here .  Between my blogging and writing experience, I thought, maybe I should write a public blog and make some extra dough that way.  Actually, I've thought abou...

How to build a website

-
I am not kidding when I tell you that I've been researching which domain is the best for hosting your website for a loooonnng time (like a year).   And all I have to show for it is: Hun?   I still don't get it. If you were to condense everything I've read in the past year into one thought, it is this: Wordpress (or something similar) is the way to go.  The paid subscription is the best because it allows you to add widgets so you can add things to your webpage like a link to your podcast.  Also, you can get rid of the wordpress in your domain name and actually own your name.  So instead of dailydisneyliving.wordpress.com, it is just dailydisneyliving.com. With all that said.  I did not go with wordpress.  Well, I don't think I did.  I still don't know!  What I did do was follow the step-by-step instructions from this website: How to start a blog  which claims you can start a blog in 20 minutes.  The author of this blo...
