My sister is the one who got me started with blogging. I can remember several years ago when we were talking on the phone she mentioned that she had been reading some blogs on the Internet that she thought I’d enjoy reading. I told her to send me the links to the blogs, and I read them too. At that point I became interested in blogging as well. She set me up with my domain name and signed me up with a web hosting company, and I reimbursed her through paypal.
I was like a babe in the woods back then; I had no idea how to arrange for a domain or website hosting – in fact I did not even realize that you could buy a domain from one organization and then get your web site hosting from a completely different company! I thought it was a big monopoly, like the telephone company used to be! Slowly I’m learning more about the Internet business, but it sure is a lot more complicated than I could ever imagine it to be. The people who created this stuff are pure genius. Absolute genius.
