USEFUL LINKS FOR WEB HOSTING & DOMAIN NAME HOSTING:

If you are going to buy from bluehost click here on the picture:

Click here for Namecheap.

In the name of full disclosure, the above links are Affiliate links.

WHAT IS AN AFFILIATE LINK? Basically, if you are going to purchase hosting anyway from whoever, an affiliate link is like a, “Why thank you Kim, because of you I learned something and was going to purchase this anyway, I’m glad to buy it with your affiliate link – it lets Bluehost know that thanks to you I am buying their stuff – they will give you a small tiny cut of what they earn (instead of keeping everything for themselves) to say THANKS.”

It is a “thank you” all around.

How to Build a Website Part 1, Get rid of the smell of #2, and Other Ramblings

I’ve been sitting on an ebook I’ve written 30 pages of for the longest time about building a website. I honestly thought it would be 5 pages but the screenshots made it expand to 30. Since no one will stand for a 30 page blog post, I will start with Part 1 of this ebook. When I finish this series I will make it available for free on the site as well as in complete ebook form. It’s the only way for me to pull it out from under my ass for it to be seen by the good people of the internet.

Speaking about bottoms, later on I will show you how to get rid of the smell of your #2 with a few sprays.

Let’s begin then, shall we?

How to Build a Website Part 1

Building a website is much like cooking. You have to do steps in sequence and depending on what you see/taste (you shouldn’t taste your computer, though) you adjust accordingly.
