I'm Torn...Help Me Decide!

I approved it. It's an automated moderation tool, so it just does that sometimes.

So the link wasn't actually on your site - I get it. I wouldn't worry about those sites, as I'm sure they'll update when you make changes. Still, before you switch hosts, I would narrow down the load time issue. You can use: http://tools.pingdom.com/fpt/ to do that. Switching hosts may not resolve the problem if it has to do with your site/theme.

Thanks for the link.

So, how exactly is the best method of making the most money from blogging? I've taken a niche blogging course, so my focus was going to be on affiliate marketing on my blog, but Angie listed several other ways to make money. I realize that affiliate marketing isn't going to work if there is little to no traffic, but I'm not really into social networking/social marketing. I guess Squidoo has me spoiled because my traffic comes from Google. I'm afraid my blog would get lost among the sea of blogs because the keyword research I'm doing for my Lenses now will not work to get my blog on the first page.

Also, Bob, what plugin did you decide on for backing up your site? Thanks.

The one I use is UpdraftPlus - Backup/Restore. I found it in the WP plugin directory.

Hi Julie,

This is a good starting point:

Let me know if that raises any questions.
