16. Hi this is somewhat of off topic but I was wanting to know if blogs use WYSIWYG editors or if you have to manually code with HTML. I’m starting a blog soon but have no coding know-how so I wanted to get advice from someone with experience. Any help would be enormously appreciated!

    1. You can use code but the interface is WYSIWYG generally. Adding pictures, charts, etc. may result in some differences between your screen & finished blog pages. Always a good idea to preview before you post.

       Best of luck on your blog! Please send us a link

46. What’s up to every body, it’s my first go to see of this web site; this weblog consists of awesome and truly excellent information in support of visitors.|

47. whoah this blog is magnificent i like reading your

48. This is a great way to start your involvement with the CPA community.

49. This weblog is exceptionally Fantastic. How did by yourself crank out it ?

    1. Need to work on it more often! But, it’s just a simple matter of taking the time to do research on the topics, write up things, edit, re-edit, etc. Info graphics are fairly easy to make in Excel and one can get free JPG (graphics) on various sites on the net.

       Recommend looking at the SBA website (www.sga.gov) as they have a bunch of free info on blogging as well as other business topics and that’s where I got basic info (although I’d already started the blog by that point).

       Write, write, write – that’s the key!

       Thanks for reading & if you’ve got ideas on additional topics, please let me know.
       Tom

50. Have you ever considered about including a little bit more than just your articles?

    I mean, what you say is valuable and everything.
    However imagine if you added some great photos or video clips to give your posts more,
    “pop”! Your content is excellent but with pics and video clips, this blog could
    certainly be one of the very best in its niche. Amazing blog!

    1. Thanks for the feedback – actually looking into additional photos. Also working on some slide-share presentations (video) so should have something new soon! Just need to work on these items while rushing up against big deadlines!

       If you’ve got other suggestions on the blog, please feel free to let me know.

       Tom

51. Hey! This is kind of off topic but I need some help
    from an established blog. Is it difficult to set up
    your own blog? I’m not very techincal but I can figure things out pretty quick.

    I’m thinking about setting up my own but I’m not sure where to start.
    Do you have any points or suggestions? Cheers

    1. A good primer is on the small business administration website (SBA.gov – I think) and they’ve got a bunch of free webinars on blogging, websites, and a lot of other topics. Highly recommended.

       Good luck with your blog! Please send me a link when you get it set up.

52. Have you ever thought about creating an e-book or guest authoring
    on other blogs? I have a blog based on the same ideas you
    discuss and would love to have you share some stories/information. I know my readers would value your work.
    If you are even remotely interested, feel free to send me
    an e-mail.

    1. not sure about the e-book but might be of interest. Been asking a few people in my network to guest author on my blog. I’ll check your blog and maybe we can collaborate.

       Cheers!
       Tom

54. I’m really enjoying the design and layout of your site. It’s a very easy on the eyes which
    makes it much more pleasant for me to come here and visit more often. Did you hire out
    a designer to create your theme? Great work!

    I came to give it a look. I’m definitely loving the information. I’m book-marking
    and will bee tweeting this to my followers! Exceptional blog and terrifc style and design.

57. Hi, I do believe this is an excellent web site. I stumbledupon it 😉 I’m going to come back once again since I book marked it.
    Money and freedom is the best wway to change, may
    youu be rich and cintinue to help other people.

58. I know this if off topic but I’m looking into
    starting my own blog and was curious what all is needed to get set up?
    I’m assuming having a blog like yours would cost a pretty penny?
    I’m not very internet smart so I’m not 100% positive. Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated.
    Many thanks

    1. Actually haven’t spent much on the blog (yet) as WordPress sites are free, but you can pay for additional storage, special themes, graphics, etc. Recommend doing your homework on sites, but wordpress.com is a good start.

       Biggest ‘cost’ is time – writing, editing, formatting, etc. plus learning SEO and key words… just takes time/effort.

       Recommend looking at SBA.gov for free handouts/webinars on blogging. Great free resource for business owners

       Good luck!
