    Hey there are using WordPress for your site platform? I’m new to the blog world but I’m trying to get started and set up my own. Do you need any coding expertise to make your own blog? Any help would be really appreciated!

      Hi Cheryll. Thank you for visiting my site and welcome to the world of blogging. Yes, I am using WordPress. I do very little coding, as WordPress’ dashboard comes with most of the coding you will need in convenient icon form. I did have to use coding I found through a Google search to set up my Lessons Learned on Daddy’s Lap page. I used code to create the table and to add links within the table to specific points on the page and links back to the top. I have also occasionally used coding (from the same source) to set larger quotes apart within a blog. Other than that, it works pretty much like typing in MS Word.
      For me the most important part of making a good blog page is loving your subject matter and being willing to keep it fresh. I post daily, but I hear that weekly works well for most bloggers. Also having a good host platform is a MUST. I use a company called Accelerated Web Solutions. They created my background, menus, buttons and maintain my security. I could not do this without them. They also provided training to get me started and ongoing support for any issues I run into. If you are interested, click on the link on the side of my page with the little monster in it. They are very reasonably priced too.
      Please feel free to join in anytime.

    I’m curious to find out what blog system you’re utilizing? I’m experiencing some small security issues with my latest blog and I’d like to find something more risk-free. Do you have any suggestions?

      Thank you for visiting my site. I’m using WordPress as my platform and Accelerated Web Solutions as my hosting company. I have had really good success with them. They even have an option of having a dedicated server that increases security. If you are interested in seeing what they have to offer, click on the sidebar link of the little monster. They are reasonably priced and offer you a LOT of assistance.
      I enjoy hearing from those who find me, even if it is not directly related to my post. Please feel free to join in anytime.
