Great advice. Just dashed off to get Linked In now off to look at Etsy.
Thank you!

Great post!

Laura- I wholeheartedly recommend the girl who set my bakery’s website up; Arianne Foulks. Check my site (www.muddysbakeshop.com) and see what you think- there’s a link to her website at the bottom of each of my pages. She was AMAZING!

As for Google Analytics… I wouldn’t necessarily say there’s no “con”. Simply enter “why not to use analytics” in your search bar to get the other side of the story. It’s free, but you’re giving Google permission to access to all your stats and content for building their own ad programs that people will pay for. So great short term… maybe not a good idea in the big picture. Just an opinion!
Thanks again!

Tip:

For installing code from Google Analytics on your blog, put it in your footer and then you don’t have to manually insert it in to every blog post. It will still track per post.

I’m a graphic designer, and I recommend TaprootHosting.com to all my clients. They are an eco-friendly company with good prices, great support, and great morals. (Not to mention their site is a whole lot prettier than GoDaddy!)

Thank you for the great post, this was so helpful.

Does anyone have any opinion, advice or experience with building a site or blog with .mac? Pros/Cons?
