Garagnon Mon, 02 Mar 2009 18:15:30 +0000 http://www.jasonoickle.com/67#comment-13253 I like building my own static web-sites. I can put my wide pan images any where and size them the way I like. I've been using Adobe Golive 6.0 only because i am used to it. It has a grid system that lets me place objects where I want them. With all of the scripts available, I am learning how to make my sites more interactive. I don't like the in-flexibility of canned Blog programs, Too restrictive for image placement & size. I've learned how to install paypal buttons and code & am able to create a mini-shopping cart. I'll stick with building my own static sites. I like building my own static web-sites.

I'm getting between 500 and 1000 hits a month now as compared with before when I was getting between 100 and 300 hits. I love it. I am able to interact with my subscribers more and it's easier than email. I just upload my ezine to it and subscribers actually read it now. :) BTW... now WP even has its own shopping cart. It's simple to use and works with PayPal. I changed my ezine subscription website from static to a blog with a static index page.

Blogs allow more interactivity though (comments which can also go unmoderated and keep out spam at the same time). WP is getting better now, you are able to add flash, videos, etc and not have to worry where to place them as the latest entry can be shown first. My preference would be to use my own blog.

With all the great WYSIWYG editors available today, it isn't hard at all. You don't even have to know html. Most WYSIWYG editors have more features and capabilities than the average internet marketer will ever need. If you can't edit graphics, that can be outsourced at a reasonable price. The cost pales in comparison to hiring someone to build a website. I think blogs are fine for driving traffic to your websites(s), but they are much to limiting to be used as a main marketing tool.

It started out as a pure WP Blog and was getting about 500 t0 650 page views per month. I have since changed it to a Static Index Page with an attached blog and, last month my views went to 2,948 and this month they just topped 5,600. I also noticed that people are spending much more time on my site now. MikeRogers Hi Jason,
