Now that I'm actually going down the photography route I think it's about time things change around here. If I'm going to do this, I'm going to do it right. I have lots of exciting ideas which will take Alex Beadon Photography to where I eventually want it to be, and as a strong believer in steps, I plan on getting there one step at a time.
Step 1 - I need my OWN blog/website!!
I hate this .blogspot.com!!! It feels so unprofessional and cheap, and I'm neither of those things. I need a domain that can represent me by acting as both my blog and my website. Therefore it needs to have the appropriate links and functions that a website has, be easy to use and accessible, but still let me blog on a regular basis.
If you have any advice, ideas, or knowledge on making a website/blog - or if you know of people who do - PLEEEASE let me know! Get in touch by either commenting below, emailing me, facebooking me, or even give me a call! I need all the help I can get :) - so any advice would be appreciated!!!
And because a post isn't a post without some pictures, here they are:
Before I go, just a reminder that if you have any suggestions/advice/help in relation to having my own blog domain name and website, please let me know!!
Thanks,
Alex

You can buy a domain from anywhere (I bought mine from go daddy) and they can host it for you. I have my blog through wordpress and got the template from Tofurious. If you want more details you can email me! Good luck!
