Wordpress niche website

Do you think I should do it?

by Mr.EBD on July 16, 2010

Hi my name is Christian, the creator of tehbigwebtheory.com
I am currently using the free hosting supplied with wordpress.com and a domain name I bought of godaddy.com . I want to move to wordpress.org because I have been getting a lot comments about the look of the page, I also want the plugins supplied with .org . I write high quality content daily and after a week I am at about 60 page views daily. I am very motivated to continue with this blog until I have absolutely nothing more to write about. Which probably wont happen. I have a pretty good niche and am still trying to find my voice. Some say they like the informal writing style and some don’t. I want to get a little bit more formal and clean up the website. All I want is for you to tell me do you think I should wait for the possibility of becoming a VIP on wordpress.com before I can finally add the things I want or do you think I should convert to .org . Note I have no training in things like DNS and FTP but if any of you can suggest good tutorials that would be appreciated. I am till scared to take the plunge into the unknown but also want my blog to be a success thanks for reading tell me what you think!

Estimates for web design help?

by Mr.EBD on July 15, 2010

I’m in the process of developing a business plan for a web-based business mainly focused on providing free content via regularly published articles (like a blog) and e-commerce products such as e-books etc. I’d like to launch my website as soon as possible so that I can start building a community and a reputation in my niche, but know very little about the tech side of things. I have purchased a domain name and am fairly knowledgable about self-hosting, but I’d like to power my website using WordPress and Thesis, of which I know very little. Does anyone have a price estimate for how much it should cost to have someone else build me a basic website using Thesis and WordPress? Or would it be fairly straightforward for me to just teach myself? I guess I’m down to whether the time or the money is more valuable.
