Wordpress Blog Generator - Create Custom WP Blogs 

I must admit I am an Active Rain "Junkie"  that really like the platform here and the "Google Juice!"  I really could not do better than Active Rain, but there are certain limitations that I would love to explore other ideas and move beyond. 

As far as my background, I sell real estate from the web.  I've been very successful over the years, and want to expand my scope of coverage.  I've been generating websites for over 13 years now and never looked into creating a stand alone Blog or a sub-domain blog.  I really like the possibilities of a sub-domain Blog because as a component of the primary domain there can be a lift in web position and SEO.

Last night I started playing around with a few of the domains I currently host, and checked out my options.  Several hosting companies use a Cpanel that will allow you to easily upload WordPress via Fantastico!  Once WP is loaded you can change features, customize or change templates.  It even keeps all your data before making the change.  I love that feature that really does not exist in web building via html.  Another item I found was a site that allowed me to create a customized Blog for free, and download the package.  The price is also right!  It is totally free!

I just had a Word Press blog set up as a sub domain of my website and used a company called Dakno (www.Dakno.com).  It was worth every penny and it is prefectly intergrated with the website, by design.

I love my WordPRess blogs.  SimpleScripts is another option for installing a WP blog from the CPanel.  There are also an amazing number of free themes... and premium themes that aren't terribly expensive.  The best thing is that many of them can be tweaked...

Lane Bailey - REALTOR & Car Guy (Diamond Dwellings Realty)  Lane, I have so many projects going on right now that I have not finished the Blog. I wish I could clone myself...but it installed in just a few moments.  The one I hosted with Godaddy was a pain in the butt installing. Where I host my other sites they installed in less than 5 minutes.

On BlueHost I can load up a blog and set the domain server (domain hosted by GoDaddy) in just a couple of minutes...  It is so easy.  Muchbetter than the old way of having to upload and unzip and all of that junk.

Lane Bailey - REALTOR & Car Guy (Diamond Dwellings Realty)  I can do that on 2 of my hosting sites, but on Godaddy it is a lot more convoluted.  I had the Blo set up in under 5 minutes on the the hosting sites.  I also use highspeedweb.net and your-site.com.  BlueHost looks a little more expensive.

Wordpress is incredibly rich and easy to to create.  I love the plugins, SEO built right in but great to use All in One SEO plugin.  The widget use in a theme that supports them is also very functional. My website/blog is a hybrid that I've worked on over time and am working extensively on fleshing out.  A lot I can do myself but there are good programmers who are not a lot per hour who can start getting a higher degree of professional look.  Though if you search for real estate themes you'll see there are many that are really good already.

Usually with Cpanel it's darned easy to get anything you need loaded on the host and as you noted it's a breeze to add more and more subdomains.  I'm totally a raving fan!

Bethesda Real Estate ~ Bethesda Homes for Sale (Long & Foster Real Estate, Inc.)  They take a lot less time to put together than a good website.  I love them, the problem is I do not have enough hours in my day.
