Blogging 101 for Beginners

Posted on by

I wrote this for ABC 7 news and was on one of their afternoon shows talking about websites and blogging. It still holds true for today! By Linda Lee for ABC7 Tuesday, February 9, 2010 Do you have a story to tell? A passion to share… a skill you could teach … experiences that could help others? You can get started today and not have to spend a cent. Blogging is an inexpensive and easy way to start writing and get started online. Some people have even turned their blogging into books and movies, like the recent movie Julia, Julia, and Tim Ferris author of the 4 day workweek. Blogging has evolved quite far from its humble beginnings as an online journal. Today blogs are fully functioning websites which help get the news out, connect people, and build communities […]

Linda is the most amazing person to work with – I have no words. She is diligent, on top of things and catches problems before I even know they are there. I can’t say enough about how wonderful she is to work with and her service has been worth every penny I have paid and then some. LOVE her. journalstone.com

I can’t say enough about Linda Lee and Ask Me PC. She is brilliant, wise, up-to-date on new website techniques and technologies, fun to work with, creative, dependable, reliable (I had to say this twice because it’s such a rare quality in business people these days), and affordable. Linda and her crew are always available quickly when a crisis arises, and they make my tech life simpler just knowing that they’ve got my company’s back in case of a problem. I highly recommend this company and Linda Lee personally. I don’t even want to remember how bad previous providers were in comparison. fuseliterary.com

Linda has done a remarkable job for us. We had been represented by one of the largest web hosting orgs, which generally ignored us. When we asked Linda to take over she immediately redesigned our site to make it manageable for us. When we have questions she is always available to answer them, carefully and accurately. marshhawkpress.com

Linda is an incredible guide and teacher. I’ve been with her for years because she is the only person who has helped me learn how to blog, market my website, and more.

A few years ago, with the desire to rebrand myself, I hired Linda to build me a brand-new website from the ground up. Recently, I requested she recreate my website to highlight a new book coming out. Both times, what she created for me far surpassed my expectations. Not only is Linda a creative designer, a thoughtful listener, insightful about the needs of business people and creatives, thorough, timely, savvy about marketing, and a wizard at solving any and all website problems, she is a joy to work with! marthaalderson.com

What is WordPress?

Posted on by

WordPress is a state-of-the-art publishing platform with a focus on aesthetics, web standards, and usability. WordPress is both free and priceless at the same time. More simply, WordPress is what you use when you want to work with your blogging software, not fight it. WordPress started in 2003 with a single bit of code to enhance the typography of everyday writing and with fewer users than you can count on your fingers and toes. Since then it has grown to be the largest self-hosted blogging tool in the world, used on hundreds of thousands of sites and seen by tens of millions of people every day. The GPL from the Free Software Foundation is the license that the WordPress software is under. The WordPress platform is easily adaptable to all types of websites, from blogs to e-commerce storefronts. Here’s what you need to […]

Free Images, Copyright Free Images and Resources Online

Posted on by

How and where do I find free images or copyright free images for my website? Websites need images. For pop, color, interest, and direction. Images enhance your website and also if you set them up correctly , they are tools for SEO, (Search Engine Optimization). I update these sources as needed and add new ones all the time. Some of these may take you to istock or a paid image source. Many of them are only one to five dollars. Use Creative Commons-Licensed Images When googling for an image, add “Creative Commons” to the search. Use images that have a Creative Commons (CC) license. However, be aware that a CC license is just that: a license. You need to read its terms and conditions and see what it allows or not.? Not all CC licenses allow the same uses. A CC license may […]

Tell your age from a photo, how old do I look?

Posted on by

Microsoft has revealed a new website that claims to be able to work out someone’s age just from just a picture. Called How old do I look, it allows people to analyze any image found on Bing, Microsoft’s search engine, or upload their own. Tell your age from a photo, and ask yourself, how old do I look? It even allows users to search for celebrities – and see what Microsoft thinks their real ages are. It is fun to use, but the ages vary wildly. People uploaded photos taken of them on the same day and got a huge variance in the age it said they were. The developers said, ‘We wanted to create an experience that was intelligent and fun could capture the attention of people globally, so we looked at the APIs available in the Azure Machine Learning […]
