I haven't posted almost nothing since I came here.
I've created websites since I was 16 years old, back then it was written in html using notepad, things have evolved dramatically since them, so I know a thing or two about it. However I've never created one with monetization in mind, it was all about sharing my passions.
I started creating my WA website (www.imceliac.org) and my bootcamp website (www.trabajardesdecasa.biz). Everthing is going well so far.

My website is a translation of a spanish website (www.soyceliaco.org) I have been working on for years, which was created using WordPress.org, both are about celiac disease, what it is, how I have trated it naturally and my search for a cure.
Every day I've been working on something specific and so far I think its going well, when all of a sudden my spanish blog (three days ago) got hacked and I almost lost years of hard work. Fortunately I make manual backups regularily and that same day I had created a full backup, so nothing was lost. I moved that site to WA. I figured that I had already paid for WA hosting, why not use it for that too? Then 14 hours later someone tried to hack into my email account, fortunately I was able to block that. So this last week was all about sorting out technical stuff, which although I like it, I preffer to work on creating content, not sorting out how it should work.
I had a lot of issues migrating the site to WA and was about to create a tutorial on how to do it smoothly, but apparently since I'm new, I can't. And apparently there is no such tutorial yet.
Now I'll be working with three of my websites here, which will allow me more focus.
I will write a full review about my exprience here at WA. What I have found, the good, the bad, and what I think could make it better.
