***waves*** Hi Laura

Babymoo- it really depends blogger is free and easy to set up. You can choose wordpress which is free or wordpress self hosted.
I am a big fan of wordpress because there are loads of widgets and I find it easy to customise.
As for the making money part - it is honestly better to find a subject that you are interested in a focus on the quality and content. When you get your hits up it becomes easier to monetise. You can also use google adsense as well. But, take your time and really think about what your are interested in. You will be more likely to succeed that way : )

That sort of went in 1 ear and out of the other lol.

I have a big interest and a huge knowledge of Endometriosis and Infertility and how it affects someone younger. That is what I want to blog about, as I think it may help me deal with it in the long run

Dilli do you use the self hosted version. are there restrictions with free wordpress about adverts and affiliate marketing?
If you have a free wordpress blog can you turn it into a hosted one in any easy way?
Hi Laura welcome to the fun.
just remember if you don't believe you can do it you probably won't
do it.

I think I'm going to give blogging a go I could use this idea and I could blog about my progress with it.......... not sure anyone would read it but I could have a go

https://www.blogger.co.uk, if you have a google mail account use that log in. It tells you how to set adsense up once you've written your first post, and that's how you will make money, but it takes time!

Mabel, the special item turned up yesterday! I'll make it my aim to have it finished tonight. I hate being so behind, makes me look so unprofessional I'm really sorry about this.

Joey, you made me snort coke everywhere, that was hilarious!

Hahahahaha :rotfl:

To clarify, I meant liquid coke. Well actually Pepsi Max, as that is all I drink. Nothing naughty or illegal!

dillidalli

Saucy I thought the same thing! LOL

Jo - I have self hosted but that is because I used wordpress for building sites for clients as they are easier to edit. I can already see Mabel shaking her head in disbelief but it is much easier to change than a pure html site, and cheaper than using CMS systems. Hosted is straightforward you just need a url and then you can install it. They have a great guide for self installing - but if you need help let me know.
For SEO it is excellent very easy to add widgets and update bits and pieces so me personally I love it!

Babymoo - I think that would make for a great blog really interesting and informative. And I think a lot of people would like an individual perspective not just hard just medical facts.

moneymabel

Lol-yeah I do agree its easier than html for people that know a bit about computers! My problem is I left school the year before they got computers so learnt nothing there (yes I am that old!)

Saucy-I didnt mean to pressure you hun-there is really no hurry-i'm just terminally nosy and wanted to know what the item was! Please dont make yourself ill trying to finish everybodies, its our fault for giving you loadsa orders all at the same time! No...actually...its your fault for making such pretty stationery to feed our addictions :-)

babymoo

I shall set about setting it up once I have finished listing on Ebay only 10 more items to go

Evening all. We've done Mother's Day a day early so been out for lovely lunch and a small tipple. Am stuffed and tired now lol.

I've just updated my blog this evening and written a dooyoo review, so hopefully see something from that soon.

I've also had a small idea that I'm going to research tonight as see if I can do anything with it.
