Commercial Websites
I introduce small companies and individuals to the world of blogging and try to get them up and running with the goal of them handling everything once they get on their feet. My clients have responded best to following:
- Wordpress
- Windows Live Writer
- Feedburner
- Google Analytics and 103bees
All in all, those tools seem to have the shortest learning curve and can help blogging newbies get going as quickly as possible.

FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO WANT TO START YOUR OWN BLOG
There is some point when someone wants to start his own business in the internet that requires him to buy a hosting and a domain name. There are a lot of free hosting services in the internet if you want to search. Domain names are the same. A lot of free domain names available for free in the internet. I always recommend for first timer to search and try free services available in the internet, like free blog at blogger.com or wordpress.com. Even Friendster also offers a free blog service.
There are free domain names available in the internet like .co.cc or .co.nr. I still remember the first time I use .tk as my domain name. All of those free domain name and web hosting are cool and worth to try, but like I said at some point we will need a paid service.
There is a good Website Hosting service called Pickaweb. While originally it is UK hosting company but it also gives service globally. The most important thing you will look for if you choose a web hosting service is the support (choose those who has 24×7 support via phone, chat and email), uptime guarantee (no company can guarantee 100% uptime, but the more the better). The other factor like price and features can be compared among the other services and it depends on what you need.

Web CMS Applications
I've been a fan of AppAppeal all this year and found the vast majority of reviews to be excellent and helpful. Of the top four CMS [Content Management Site-ala Website builder/hosts] Devhub suits my information sites the best to monetize. I find that each has features that recommend it to a type of website.
Devhub’s main competition comes from other web-hosting solutions such as GoDaddy, Bravenet, and Google Pages, as well as from blogging platforms such as Blogger and Wordpress. The main difference between Devhub and the other free or low-cost web hosting platforms is the instant monetization and extensive reporting capabilities offered by Devhub. Devhub also offers a more complete CMS solution than the other sites. Blogger and Wordpress have been used by many people to create monetized websites, but this often requires more knowledge of HTML and other web languages in order to produce a professional-looking site. Devhub’s site editing tools are easier to use than any of the above-mentioned sites.
Competitors to Weebly include Jimdo and Blinkweb. Both of these sites offer similar features to Weebly, with a basic account being free and an upgraded membership with more features available for a reasonable cost. Both sites give the user the ability to choose from a number of different templates, add pages or blogs, and utilize a variety of widgets. The main difference between Weebly and these two sites is that Weebly is much easier to use – the site editor used by Weebly is among the easiest on the web yet user’s can build a professional-looking website with it.
Snap Pages is an online application which makes it really easy to build websites. Of course there are plenty of different website editors, however this one is very simple and works online. It’s possible to use snappages to create a site by doing nothing more than dragging and dropping things around your screen. Not only are the websites really easy to create, but they are also very attractive and very professional. Too many similar systems make amateurish looking sites, however these are pretty nice. Users can easily select a variety of different themes, or they can customize the themes to create more unique sites. There are also many additional tools included such as photo management and calendar tools.
Yola offers a number of differences over other online web designers. This service offers free hosting and it’s possible to create websites by doing nothing more than pointing and clicking. You can then easily upload this site to your own hosting account, or host it for free on their servers. The whole system and process is very easy to use, you don’t need to know how to build websites, all you need to do is point, click and drag objects around to create your site. There’s no need to use expensive tools, or spend time learning complicated programming languages.
DevHub is a free website builder and publishing platform with full monetization capabilities.
SnapPages provides a suite of online applications for creating and maintaining your own website.
Yola allows you to build your own website quickly and will provide you with free hosting for your website.

NiceTitle is a relatively simple script that creates a div-container which pops up when a link (with the title attribute) is hovered. This container shows what is written in the title attribute, plus the URL the link directs to.
