What I did yesterday...

Old cell phone pic I played around with changing
For the better part of the day on Saturday, I spent time setting up a new niche website all about a cool new high-tech stroller I learned about.

I jumped on my BlueHost web hosting account and paid more than $20 for a new dot com name -- $11.95 or so plus the $9 and 90-something cents for the who is privacy that I love.

I know my DreamHost account only charges $9.95 or whatever for new domain names and gives you the who is privacy for free, but after DreamHost went down for a full day about a week or two ago, I told myself that I wouldn't buy or host any additional domains on there -- other than the 30 or so dot coms I have spread across my two DreamHost accounts.

Those are all good -- but I was thanking our Lord seriously that my most profitable website for now is hosted on my BlueHost account -- and it didn't go down or suffer any losses. I don't think it's been down at all since I started that one last May, in 2011.

So it was time to add another new dot com name on my BlueHost account anyway, and it was interesting the way you have to do an "add on" and I Googled around for instructions to make sure I was doing it right, because it looked different than what I was used to -- and I didn't want it to go up as a subdomain on my other dot com or something.

But no, it went up fine, and will hopefully turn into a seriously profitable website. I also liked the new SmallBiz free WordPress template that showed up on the panel, so I played around with the free version, and thus far I love the way it helps you easily create a nice niche website that looks professional and lets you add pages, but not have to worry about adding a bunch of posts if you don't want to.

Check it out at OrigamiStollerBuy.com if you want to see the theme in action.

So that was my Saturday. I've been hittin' it and working up a storm of writing, seeing as those taxes are due in a bit. And God has been blessing the work of my hands, so I'll keep on working!

What did you do yesterday?
