Where Does One Begin Blogging?

For me, it began with a passion and a personal problem - yes, I had two blog ideas. I chose for here personal finance as I always had a problem with debt from the time I graduated and got my first credit card until I was well into my late 40s. I have my step dad to thank for turning my life around. He had high hopes for my success that I never thought I had and when he shared it I felt I had let him down and that forced me to prove him right. The Answer was - I was LOST all my life. As I g

Complacency Can Hold Us Back.

I am back and ready to continue building this my first WA site as well as a new one. Coming back I noticed the site health of my page is RED and says "your site needs work".
