I am moving to www.theupfrontmortgagebroker.com

Hello Everyone,

I have a new domain name, it is www.theupfrontmortgagebroker.com and will be moving all posts over to it in the next few weeks. I currently am using a standard run of the mill template but was lucky enough to win a contest whose prize was a custom theme from Milo. I am looking forward to what he can do, his maintains a website called www.peety-passion.com, check it out if you are looking for a new theme to your blog or website.

Over the next few weeks, the new domain www.theupfrontmortgagebroker.com, will be undergoing a few changes so please bear with me as I make them. I know the changes will be for the better and it will make the posts visually appealing as well.

I always welcome any constructive comments so please feel free to make any as you see fit. I am always looking for guest writers so if you know anyone who can offer some good, usable information, have them call or email me. Some guest writers could be:

• Realtors
• Home Inspectors
• Moving Companies
• Insurance Agents
• Credit Repair Experts
• Title Company Agents

Lastly, if you know someone that is looking to purchase their next home or desiring to refinance, have them call or email me today.

Interested in Blogging? Here is my tip.

Have you thought about blogging but don't know where to begin? Here is what I have learned from my 6 weeks in blogging. My tip for you is to look at both Blogger and Wordpress and explore the free options. You should think about what your intentions are for the blog, is it to make money, offer professional advice, or is it a place to write out your thoughts? If you intend to have a professional site, you should consider a self hosted Wordpress site. If your intentions are to create a journal or use the blog to keep in touch with family and friends, use blogger. Blogger is totally free and very easy to use, it can be up and running in minutes. Wordpress offers two versions, one is hosted at wordpress.com and offers the basics needed for a blog. They also offer a the self hosted version which is more robust and offers more custom ability.

I wasn't very knowledgeable about blogging 6 weeks ago but have learned enough to know that the professionals use a self hosted format for their blog. Self hosted is where you own the domain name and control the data on it. That is precisely why I have moved my blog from blogger to wordpress and I bought the domain, www.theupfrontmortgagebroker.com to host the blog. Check it out when you have some time just keep in mind it is brand new and I need to fine tune it as I go.

Feel free to contact me if you have any questions, I'd welcome your comments.

Have you heard the news? I am moving away from Blogger and into a Wordpress blog that I am hosting myself. The new blog is up and running although it does need some fine tuning. I haven't created any new posts for the blog yet but I am working on some presently. I'll be using this blog and my new blog site, http://www.theupfrontmortgagebroker.com/ simultaneously for the month of October and then I'll probably stop posting here so stay tuned. But while I have your attention.....
