    Blogsites

    Those who have one, are you happy with it? Anyone had one and decided against it?

    Thanks for the links Wendi!  I've seen your site and your old post and almost pm'd you but I figured I'd find out the input of other mpixers too.

    I am still working on rebranding my business (very time consuming!), but the next step is to attack my website.  After trying to update my normal site again and getting very frustrated, I think I have decided to move strictly to a blogsite.  I plan to have two, one targeted towards weddings and engagements, and the other towards my infant/maternity work.

    If I do decide to stick with a website, it will be a lite version with just a few select images and more actual info about what I do.  If people want to see more of my portfolio, I will direct them to my blog, where it is the most recent.  If I update my website once a year or less, it isn't really doing me justice, so I just want my absolute best work on it.  In my head, I would ideally have less than 20 images on my entire actual website.

    I'm probably not the best to be answering, since I'm still new at this, but I only have a blog site. I don't think I'd keep a website up to date enough to hang on to customers. I have my favorite 3-4 images from each session, posted in an entry, with categories separating the type of session, so seniors can only look at seniors, etc. When I have other pictures from daily stuff that I like, I post them too. I use wordpress, so there are additional static pages that have my info, pricing, and stuff like that. Other links on the side include proofing and my networking sites.
