Well all I have started up a web blog for you all to read and make
comments on if you want to I have had previous posts removed for putting
links in it so I cannot give you a link to it. However, If you know my
website then you can reach the blog from the home page. If you do not
know my website then you can search for "LakeAreaWebs" in google and you
will probably find it at the top of the page of results.

You might not have noticed but when you either first open the page or
refresh it that comment changes randomly as well.

There are alot of high end features in that site including if you wanted
to get an RSS feed from it's blog that can be done from the bottom of
the pages. Clicking on the RSS button should allow you to subscribe to
the feed which will in turn notify you of any update to the blog.

I am planning on implementing a few widgets to the blog as well in the
near future. The list of things for me to do is neverending. The news
page will be being replaced soon with a dedicated services page as well.

Kev, which type of blog did you set up? I started out with the
b2revolution (is that the name?) and have not had time to get back to
it. I have not blogged with it and am thinking I am not getting the
darn thing configured correctly anyhousen. I am thinking I might try the
wordpress or one of the others in cpanel and see...

Was yours easy to set up? Which one are you using? I want one at the
buddy site and RYK but as you know, time does not allow for a huge
learning curve on the set-up.

Thanks.

I picked the Wordpress blog and setup was very easy only a few minutes
in fact. Custom configuration is where you may run into trouble.

Setting up the blog itself is a walk in the park but customizing it to
have the look you may want is where it gets a bit more difficult.

If you have a good understanding of CSS and PHP though it should be
pretty easy to custom configure. I need to practice more with PHP and
play with the interface to get the look I really want out of it but so
far I am very happy with it.

I I deleted the b2evolution and set up the wordpress last night. It
looks TONS easier.

I also went to your blog and signed up but the email with the password
did not come. There must be some issues with my aol mailbox as I also
did not get the email from you yesterday that you kept sending.

When I get back later, I will check into the email problem.

It's just one thing after another, isn't it? LOL.

Have a great day all!

Verb

It might be an issue on my end here as I am in the middel of switching
over between web hosting companies. I ttok a backup of the site about 6
am this moring but have not disabled the blog even up to this point as
it is very close to being operational on the new web host. I went to bed
after 7 am this morning and am back up and working on getting my skills
organized to complete the tasks at hand and transfer the dns settings.

I plan on having lakeareawebs.com, mysticwarriorsofrage.com,
mysticwarriorsofrage.net, mysticwarriorsofrage.org, honestyhouse.com and
a couple others running today or tomorrow at the latest.

Thanks mtironroses it took alot of owrk but if you read the silktide
thread you will see it is rated by them as #133 world wide. That means I
only have to beat out 132 more websites to be the best on the web. That
should really get the attention of the search engines in my opinion as
well as the big business world as I am just a single person developing a
website that is higher rated then most of the business and personal
sites on the web.

They might have to rethink their web design budgets.
