Auntie Kate The Resale Expert

Here’s a little something to mull over for the New Year:

Create and CONTROL your shop’s web site on your own.

You know how it goes. That web site some dude designed for you a while back is now out of date, or out of season, or contains information that’s no longer true.

Or you have some really good photos you’d like to use in place of those yucky ones he used.

Or you have no idea how to quickly and effectively use that blog he set up, so there it sits with one entry.

Your webmaster is gone. He moved or graduated or just isn’t around anymore, and you’ve been meaning to do something about your site but it’s just so overwhelming that you keep putting it off.

We’ve always suggested shops have an active & interesting blog (see http://tgtbt.com/blog/ for resale-industry-specifics!) The good news is it’s dead easy to use the same exact techniques to make your own

complete and professional-looking web site

that you or a staffer can change in literally minutes. And that can cost you as little as $18 a year.

Now WordPress has laid out how EASY it is to make a web site with WordPress.

Yes, it takes a little learning, but you can do it. That’s why I wrote a series on

how to optimize your web site here on Auntie Kate the Blog.

I’m betting if you spent a few hours here and there on creating your own, fully-updatable web site in the next 5 weeks, you could have the best web site of your life.
