Have you ever wanted your own website or blog but either never got around to it or found it to be to expensive an exercise? Well, now you have no excuse not to!

Bigzeno.com are offering completely free of charge a full WordPress installation with a choice of professionally designed themes (or you can supply your own theme if you prefer – information on where to find them is on the Bigzeno.com website).

Whether you want to set up a website to promote yourself or your business, set up an online business to make some extra cash, or simply just feel like blogging for fun – it’s a no brainer of an offer! Why not get started right away!

In recent months I’ve become a fan of Fotolia stock library…

One of the biggest problems with a blog can be finding suitable illustration for your articles, or for use in a custom template. Having waded through many an on-line stock library in the past I always seem to end up back at Fotolia which must have one of the biggest collections  – approaching 7 million photographs.

Prices for images suitable sizes for use on the web start from 2 or 3 dollars.

Most of the images are of very good quality due to a human based approval system

So – no need to steal photographs any more. It only costs a couple of dollars to avoid breaching copyright laws!

We run a number of WordPress blogs, all of which have custom templates. There are two ways to create custom templates, we used to do it the hard way in the PHP code – now we do it the easy way using Artisteer.

Artisteer is an incredible tool – a WYSIWG design editor, and really simple to use – it’s saved us many hours of time creating new blogs. And, even better it’s not just WordPress it works with! Artisteer designs can also be exported as templates for Joomla, Drupal and other formats.

If blogging is your thing it really is worth exploring at just $129.95 for the full professional version. This gives you access to updates and support for a year from purchase. Visit the site and give the demo a try – you wont be sorry.

(If you really don’t want to do your own design, we can also provide custom templates)
