help with my blog

[mydreamparty]

Hi
I am looking to find someone who can help me with my blog.  I am willing to pay for services
I am new to all this and I am trying to add pages and links which I cant do no matter how I try.  I also made a signature and do not know how to take the box around it off.  I also need a few other things for my blog.

Please email me if you can help at cindy@mydreamparty.com
thanks so much

Hi Cindy,
I bet we can help out. Is your signature in an image tag? (img src=) if it is make sure the border=0 or just take that out.
Did you want to add a link within your text? Most the time your posting panel should have a little icon that looks like a chain link. Press this and it should ask for your link and the words you want hot (clickable).
I hope this helps. Not sure who you have your blog with. You can pm me if you want and I'll try to help you as much as I can.

Switch to typepad!  Everything is already done for you, google sitemap, technorati, digg, delicious, ping, it's all already incorporated into your blog!  And, adding html is very simple!   I would suggest using typepad plus to start with and you can get like a 7 or 10 day free trial.

typepad includes all of that? interesting...
how hard it is to move an existing blogger format to typepad? and what is the cost?

[grocerymama]

I'm with typepad and I love it. I pay $15 a month and can have tons of sub blogs. I just point domain names to them and I don't have to worry about a long url.
They have a few different packages and they do have a trial period to check them out.
Not sure how hard it would be to move over to them though.

Grocery Momma,  can you help with pointing domains?  I am not quite sure how to do that.  For instance my URL right now is http://mommyblogs.typepad.com  but what I want is http://glamorouswahm.com....  I use godaddy for my domain hosting.  Is there anyone cheaper?

Go daddy is super easy to point.
1.) Log into you account and click on My Domains
2.) check you desired domain and click on Forwarding from the menu bar (this option won't be available until a domain is choosen).
3.) You will come to a screen that has a text area to place your blog url in. And click Moved Permanently.
4.) Click ok and ok again.
5.) After this change takes effect go back in to the same screen and choose the masking tab if you want. This will mask your blog url with your domain name.

I hope that helps. If it wasn't clear let me know and I'll go into more detail.
