Platforms and Hosts

This blog is a result of a college class I am taking online at Brigham Young University - Idaho.  We post a weekly reflection of our experiences, and since it is a class about creating an online business, it only makes sense that they reflection would be on a blog.  I am not a blogging individual so this is a new experience for me.
This week we explored website design platforms and website hosting platforms.  As a novice, it was a simple decision to go with an easy to use a
site like Wix.  Researching the various options was a journey of discovery.  I never knew there were so many places to design or build a website, or as many hosts.  There was a wide range of options, and many sites offered very similar perks, so it was a really interesting comparison to make.  If you are reading this post, then you probably know what I selected.  I was really leaning towards WordPres.org with Bluehost as the host, but the instructor advised us that the skill needed to create a WordPress site was a little more advanced, so if we didn’t have prior experience, we would find it challenging, and time-consuming.
I am eager to see what we learn next week and to see how I can personalize this page and make it my own.  I have invested a lot of time this week in researching and comparing, but I feel that I have learned a great deal.  A very satisfying week.
I hope you all have a great week.  See you next week here on the ramble.
