I jsut don't know where to start or how much I could expect to pay for this. Can you e-mail me if you have suggestions on how to get started. THanks, Leigh Dustin,

With that said, there's more than a few solutions out there for someone like yourself, so I'm going to ping you with an email. It's quite possible that some peole I know would be willing to design you a pretty slick website (with blog, IDX, analytics, etc. built in), at a pretty decent price point. Karen,

I knew absolutely nothing about websites or blogs last fall, and was encouraged by my broker to set up a Point 2 site. I ended up upgrading from the (formerly) free template website to the paid Professional version mostly so I could get an integrated blog. I've figured out that with 8 months of reading everyone else in the blogosphere, I know more about the subject than anyone at my brokerage...so I really have no one to go to for advice. It's been a great learning experience, but I feel like I've got a website/blog with training wheels, and I'm ready to move to the big bike! I'm not sure where to start. I don't understand the issues between hosted vs self-hosted. I also don't know the difference between WP.org vs WP.com. Everyone refers to WP, but which would be better for someone that is willing to learn a little, but isn't really interested in learning HTML/CSS and becoming a IT specialist. I'm really just a full time real estate agent trying to use the tools out there, but am willing to learn enough to implement an effective site. I'm also interested in switching both my website and blog to one blogsite that allows for a MLS IDX search. Any suggestions? Dustin – I’m really glad I found this post.

I'm trying to encourage the agents that I work with to start blogging (can you believe how many don't?) w/Typepad only because it's easier for me. Wordpress seems more "technical" to me.

Even many of the vendors listed under the "paid" section are using WordPress for their backend. Tracey: I agree that WordPress tends to be the most common for people setting up new blogs.
