Blogsite Design

[jontullos]

Hi all! Don't mind me, I'm just the new guy.

Anyway, I started a blog ministry a few months ago and it can be found at the site in my profile (the site won't let me post a link here yet). I maintain a blogger.com site where I archive all of my posts and I display the most recent post on the main website. Also on the main site, I have some links, a bio and such. I'm wanting to eventually incorporate other features and resources and I was wanting some feedback. Currently I have the site through the free suite on AdvancedMinistry. I've found this service to be extremely user friendly and even good looking but I may want something a little more flexable in the future. I love envisionwise (and worked with them before when I was in radio) but they're pretty pricey. Does anyone have any suggestions for reasonably priced web design and hosting? Thanks in advance!

Several people here would gladly design for you, Phil Graves and myself come to mind quickly. As for web hosting, 1&1 gets a lot of comments here with positive reviews, but I also recommend BlueHost and HostGator highly.

I always recommend WordPress for single and multi-user blog sites as far as ease of management goes. If you're looking for something a little robust, MovableType is one of the best available.

I will be checking those out... but not tonight, it's late.

Thanks for the suggestions! And please feel free to email me with your pricing and such. Not sure when I'll be looking to do something with it but I'd still like to get some idea about what I'll be looking at.

I like wordpress too. I have used advanced ministry - and don't particularly like it.

What are/were your issues with AM? Besides a little trouble "learning the system" I haen't had any problems.
