I think we all need to do this at some stages in our lives. I did it to get things done faster, even though i could have done them myself. As for Godaddy blogs, they are crap and certainly will never be the next best thing. Plus, I think it's no secret that one should never have their hosting and domain name in the same place. I tried their websites and blogs when i didn't know any better, but soon ventured to WordPress. @ Cath: Yes, I did the same as you. Pay for a professional blog design once I was able to afford it. I could have done it myself, with more time spent though. Therefore sometimes it just makes more sense to enroll the help of professionals who can do the job in less time. <em>Monika Mundell's last blog post..<a href='http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/thewritersmanifesto/blogfeed/~3/343964949/' rel="nofollow">It’s Time To Strip Naked</a></em> Hi Kathy,

Your friend must have been really patient to stay online the whole time. I must admit that I've built sites myself, at a time where I was earning a pretty high hourly amount. And I can definitely see the logic in what you're saying. But sometimes it's just fun to have a go at something different. Mind you, when I began taking my blog more seriously, I did have it professionally designed. Whilst it was fun messing about to begin with, my design skills are definitely lacking. I also realized I was hopeless with colour when Rozalind Gardner told me my site was the colour of poop. <em>Cath Lawson's last blog post..<a href='http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/SuccessPasscode/~3/343711086/' rel="nofollow">Oops - I Sank A Business</a></em> Hi Kathy – I’ve hosted a site on GoDaddy before but never a blog.
