I do appreciate the help! <br /><br />@DJA- thanks for the tip!<br /><br />@John- thank you- that did clear up a bunch of my questions. <br /><br />@dillie-o I checked out your site and think it's a little too advanced for me, lol! But thanks for offering your help!<br /><br />@pablo- glad to have helped you too! what question are you referring to? The Roraschach theme? I have not started one yet... I'm finishing up with some old stuff (you'll hear more about that soon) but it's definitely on the list for the future!D0nnaTr0yhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01398839588769109257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8357633862224808465.post-23241271865013303212009-05-21T08:06:55.713-04:002009-05-21T08:06:55.713-04:00This post is great.

One-click installs and upgrades make it pretty simple.<br /><br />5) Blue Host is one of many that allow a streamlined one-click install of WordPress. There are a couple of user groups in Portland that recommend Blue Host for that reason. I personally use DowntownHost, which has the same sort of thing.<br /><br />6) To redirect your dynamod site, you'll need to find out what registrar has your domain. You can do a "whois" lookup on your domain name to find out and have it redirect. Posting a link to the new site on blogger is probably the best you'll get.<br /><br />7) Wordpress makes it really easy to set up different pages/categories/etc<br /><br />8) There are a whole host of WP plugins to use for this sort of thing. Keep in mind that plugins are much more usable on .ORG setups<br /><br />9) Depending on the theme you choose, fairly easy to customize things like this<br /><br />10) BlueHost or DowntownHost are both pretty cheap. Something like $7 a month should get you what you need.<br /><br />Good luck!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8357633862224808465.post-77577453427963753022009-05-20T14:25:58.426-04:002009-05-20T14:25:58.426-04:00Hi Kelly,

You won't be able to redirect your Bottomless Cup URL since Blogspot owns that, but assuming you own the URL "http://www.kellyfentonjazz.com," you can make that the main URL for your TypePad blog.DJAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12435473070510590935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8357633862224808465.post-84209007909413531592009-05-20T14:14:34.433-04:002009-05-20T14:14:34.433-04:00Oh yeah!

They have an express edition for free. <br /><br />You would need to setup a hosting account, and I've been using GoDaddy for about 9 months now and haven't had any major issues. I believe they have some plans that go for about $7 a month, if you can pay a year in advance. <br /><br />The only downside to that is that you'd need to purchase a domain name, if you don't already have one. There are some .com ones out there still and I think it'll run you about $15 a year.<br /><br />Regardless, I'd love to help you brainstorm some ideas.
