How Is This Blog Made?
Someone asked me today how this blog was made.
It's created using www.typepad.com software. You can sign up for 3 different levels of usage...
1) Basic - gives you 1 blog and 1 author can use it. $4.95 / mo
2) Plus - gives you up to 3 blogs and multiple authors can use them. $8.95 / mo
3) Pro - gives you unlimited number of blogs and multiple authors can use them. $14.95 / mo
I chose the Pro plan because we know we will be creating at least one more and possibly 3 more blogs in the coming weeks. Right now I have only created this one so I can get used to how the tools work.
Adding posts is as easy as using a word processor. You have several choices for layouts and color schemes and you can even edit the style sheet if you know how to use CSS. (If you don't then just leave it alone!) This blog is straight "click-click-click-done" with nothing fancy about it at all. I still haven't added a list signup point yet but once I do, this could turn into a great little stream of income!
By the way, if you haven't read Robert Allen's book Multiple Streams of Internet Income: How Ordinary People Make Extraordinary Money Online, 2nd Edition yet, do it now! It's all about adding income streams!
Hi Larry - I've been using TypePad for various blogs for a while (as well as the new Membergate ones). I find adding the entries is even faster and easier with Ecto http://ecto.kung-foo.tv/ - it can handle multiple accounts, add pictures etc.
Keep it up! Ken
