Start at the Beginning

When we are learning, it makes sense to follow the advice of Lewis Carroll's Mad Hatter: “Start at the beginning and when you come to the end, stop."  The question we then must answer is: "Where is the beginning, and how do we know when we are at the end?"

For our purposes in developing a personal website or blog, we will actually have three beginning-points, and each will be placed in one of the following categories:

• Getting a domain
• Choosing a web host and platform
• Optimization and monetization

Naturally, some of the topics will end sooner than others.  Indeed, the final item of optimization and monetization, will probably never end.
