I've also toyed with the idea of putting our regular website in blog format for search engine reasons, and also to give people an easy way to interact with us about the projects we do. It would be an interesting project to try, and probably take some of the performance anxiety out of it. I haven't seen many designers going that route, but it really makes a whole lot of sense. Thanks for the encouragement! Danny,

Because ... my dad was out fixing our neighbor's leaky faucets! Re: Blogs and websites - here is my story I started out with a static website. After 6 months I started blogging - but on a free site. It had a separate web address, etc. Not ideal, but it got me comfortable with blogging. When I revised my website last year, my web administer recommended that I migrate BOTH my website and my blog to WordPress. The best advice I ever received for building my business via the web! I now can update content on my own - not just on the blog (posts) but ALSO on my website (pages) And yes, the search engines like fresh content and interlinks. Good luck! Hi Amy -

Re: Blogs and websites – here is my story

I started out with a static website. After 6 months I started blogging – but on a free site. It had a separate web address, etc. Not ideal, but it got me comfortable with blogging.

When I revised my website last year, my web administer recommended that I migrate BOTH my website and my blog to WordPress. The best advice I ever received for building my business via the web!

I now can update content on my own – not just on the blog (posts) but ALSO on my website (pages)

And yes, the search engines like fresh content and interlinks.

Good luck!
