Affordable Blog Hosting With a Personal Touch

This blog was originally hosted by the Authority Site Center, a membership site I belong to that helps me tremendously when it comes to blogging and social marketing.

When the Authority Site Center decided to get out of the hosting business so that they could focus on developing new blogging tools and software to assist their members in driving traffic to their blogs, I had to choose a new blog hosting company.

Fortunately, David Olsen, an Authority Site Center trainer, launched a hosting service specializing in WordPress blogs, and it was an easy decision for me to host my blog with Dave.

Blogging During a Personal or Family Crisis

What do you do during a family or personal crisis?

Do you keep blogging, business as usual, because the "show must go on"?

Or, do you write about it on your blog, risking that is is off-topic, too personal, and nobody wants to hear about it?

These are questions I have been wrestling with.

You see, one of my older sisters had major surgery last week for lung cancer.

Naturally, I have found it difficult to post on this blog during this time.

I decided to share these thoughts, after all writing is good therapy.
