At Last!

The question has been hanging over my head for some time. "To blog or not to blog?"

Is there time to blog? Will anyone read it? What will it say? Ok, what will it say has never been the issue. Most days the brain explodes with words yet written. So here, it is - the very first blog - that really says nothing at all - except that "it" - blogging - can be done, by moi.

Ok, well you had to know it couldn't be that simple. The road to this blog has been one of trial & puzzlement. First, this blog is not just any blog. It's a blog to chat up, for and about only ONE of my favorite subjects - our little web shop! Lella's Lingerie Lounge.

The entire concept of the web shop, from the start was to make it feel like a real place. A place not just to shop for pretty things but one you would like to go to for fun! For "girly chats" or even take your beau there, read and learn some cool "couples" stuff together. It had to have personality! Like the rad hair salon that serves wine! I'm confidant the "look" is there. The "vibe" is there with some sexy, jazzy lounge music - the only thing missing was the "chat".


Ok, so where do I put our chat? Use a blog site? Use our own site? The experts say, "Use a blogging platform for a professional appearance" OK, well then which platform to use? Yep, it's true, platforms are not just shoes. And who knew there were SO many! With this one you can do "this" but not "that". With this one bla bla bla. It's enought to make you head spin!

What if I hate the templates? In my web world, templates are my least favorite thing. They're so "boxy" so "everyone is alike" - just different colors or pictures. Could I possibly figure out how to customize the layout?
And one of the BIGGIES - is it possible to have a "free" blog without advertisements on them? Another yuck - unless that's your REASON for blogging - not mine.

These and more questions will be answered, the more I blog, the more I learn ;)

Yeah! I have a real blog :)
