A website for $20
That’s right, I have been trying to get a website up for the longest time, and now that my music persona is so active =) I decided to get a website up.
Now it cost it about $18 to buy the domain name from GoDaddy, and this is for 2 or 3 years. Now the challenge for me was to get a site up as soon as possible, that will provide as much information as possible.
The first blog I had was good, but if someone wanted to listen to my music, they had to hit the link to my ReverbNation page, if they wanted to see where I’m playing next, they had to click the “Gigs” catagory and look at the latest post, OR navigate through my Reverbnation page…all this is was fine, but I need a more effecient way to do it, and also the cheaper the better.
I looked into it and found that ReverbNation has some very cool widgets, but non were for WordPress, which kind of sucks, because WordPress has some really cool Themes.
NON the less, they had widgets for Blogger.
So I created a free account in blogger, tested out the widgets and it works GREAT!…now s “join the mailing list”, music & gig info are all readily avialbe, and is automatically updated when ever I update my ReverbNation page, its genius.
So all I had to do was log into my GoDaddy account, and forward the domain to the blog. So now anybody could go to Mosno.Net, and get a “website”.
I’ll keep searching and trying out different blog sites until I find one that looks SUPER professional, with cool templates, then I’ll be set. Until then, keep checking www.mosno.net to see how things are looking =)
I just wanted to post what I did in case there are any bands out there having a hard time putting a website together. Aside from buying the domain, all the other sites are free =)
Take care everyone, have a safe holiday.
Salaam.
