When I started blogging I made a lot of mistakes. Stuff that seems obvious now – from security, stopping spam, SEO, backing up, social sharing and just general smart management – I just had no idea.
I’ve purchased the wrong hosting packages only to have a site crash after less than a week (this one). I’ve been over charged by web developers who under delivered and generally just got lost along the way.
I was lucky, good developers and friends helped me. Now it’s time to pay back the favour.
