Finally ready to launch!
I've been a member for about 3 weeks now. I've been through much of the training and in my down time (between my more than full time job, my ministry job, taking care of every day things, and playing with my 1 year old son), I've been writing content for my site. I finally have enough up there to where I'm comfortable publishing. I need traffic! I'm hoping to get indexed and ranked soon and may be back to ask advice on that, however, right now I just want you to go visit my BASIC website. Just a few blog posts. No affiliate links. No ads running. Not yet at least... but we have to start somewhere.
Please check it out and let me know what you think. Don't worry about hurting my feelings. I'm a novice and am happy to consider any constructive criticism.
Enjoy!

Congrats! I think it looks pretty good. I do have a couple of suggestions but they are more of personal preferences so my feelings won't be hurt if you disagree. :)
When I visit a site, I don't having to scroll through so much to get to the bottom of the page. You can change your preferences for your blog roll to have less posts on each page. I have mine set to 1, then at the bottom of the page there is a link to the remaining pages.

The other thing is having a return to top pf page link at the bottom.
Good luck!
Those are wonderful suggestions and I would like to implement. How do I? I've been wanting to do that with the blog page especially!
I would love to show you the training I learned it in but I can't remember where it's at lol. But I can explain:
Go to your dashboard, on left side menu - almost at the bottom - click on settings, then click on reading. 2nd section - Blog pages show at most
It probably has a 5 in the box, change it to the number of posts you want to be shown
for the other, go to dashboard, left side menu - click on appearance, then widgets. On right of page, you see primary side bar, content sidebar and footer area sidebar. on the left you see available widgets. Click on footer area sidebar (little caret on the right), then you will drag and drop a text widget from the left (available widgets) to the space you opened in footer area widgets. once text widget is in place, click caret to open and you will place
a href="#">Return to Top of Page
in the text box. be sure to save
it's not pasting right lol. the section of text I gave you a href...
precede it with <
at the end after Page you will put another <
then /a
then >
Your quite welcome. It looks great. Now, you should look for a few pics to add to your blog roll pages. It makes the page more pleasing to the eye and more likely for someone to read.

Great start Jared. Be sure and start your page categories for each type of insurance. Will be a great way to keep your readers coming back.
You partner Angela having the same theme will be a great resource. Enjoy seeing how WA'ers help one another in different ways. ^_~
