I did – checked it out … very novel. I will have to try making the paper helicopter with my daughter since she’s always wanting the fastest paper aeroplane.
In terms of domain names, I agree to make it interesting and where possible, add your keywords in it. It seems the top internet marketers had been ignoring this for some time but now they are realizing it’s what the search engines want and so they want that extra SEO point.

I find that having a cool title to your blog really helps. For example, my blog used to be something like blablahblog(.)blogspot(.)com, but then I switched it to diyeinstein(.)com (do it yourself Einstein! Creative, I know). I find a lot of people who view my blog actually type diyeinstein into Google, which is a rare path for starter blogs. I think it is purely the interesting name that lets me get those views.
Check it out, diyeinstein (just type it into Google, it WILL be first link!)

Go for it! Both these are good. I tend to prefer Bluehost to hostgator but they are still good.

I tend to purchase my domain names from GoDaddy and hosting, I prefer Bluehost although I do have a couple of accounts with Hostgator.
Hope that helps!

You’re not on your own domain. Your blog is still on the general WP servers. Go thru each step again according to Trish’s setup. Re-do everything. Use a template (there are many good free Wp themes out there) so you can see the difference. Buy a tech saavy friend dinner. NOt nessaryily an engineer– just saavy. MIchelle Macphearson, Ed Dale.– running now. For gods sake, get your hosting provider via chat– that’s what they’re there for. Good luck

I wish you’d mention TYPEPAD. It’s a hosted option and it costs money; but seems real good and worth checking out cos of all the widgets, and you can add paypal, adsense and ebay stuff etc. Any feedback!

Heloo does it cost money?
