Research your hosting. <\/strong>I do agree with a lot of what she says, especially the self hosting bit. Ask other people for their recommendations. I\u2019ve heard lots of horror stories about web hosts, including a host who went down and lost all their clients information & had no backup.<\/p>\n We currently go through WebCity for both our domains and hosting after trying a few other hosts. We\u2019ve been with WebCity for about 6 years now and we find they have very little down time and very reasonable domain hosting prices\/packages.<\/p>\n Learn how to back up your blog\/site<\/strong> that isn\u2019t on your hosts server (see above horror story).

I\u2019m learning lots and it\u2019s great for networking with other scrap bloggers.<\/p>\n Ok I\u2019m off to actually do some housework or something a bit more constructive (Well any blog really) I\u2019m a fan of threelilprincesses.com (after all she is a fellow Tasmanian blogger but seriously, she is awesome) and her post about building a blog is great, even if you aren\u2019t a \u2018mummy blogger\u2019. I even picked up a few tips. What would I add? Research your hosting.
