Starting a possible local convention (yikes)… I want to get a webpage up and I have no experience doing one… Recommendations for web hosting options? Nothing too fancy required and cheap or free preferred… Should I just use a blog site? |

Yeah, just use a blog. It will do most if not all of what you need. |

I would suggest creating a website and can recommend an App called SimplyDifferent. Odd name I know, but you get 7 pages free. It is easy to to set-up so that you have 7 tabs, each with a sub category such as 'Traders', 'directions', 'photo album' etc. The most important aspect is that the app is specifically designed to be run from mobile devices, if that is important to you, then this App is a good way to go, rather than traditional PC software. If you choose a blog (say blogger) and want to run it from a mobile device, I can recommend the paid for App called 'Blogsy'. It will manage a blogger or Wordpress blog with ease, it is the best that I have come across so far. |

I use Yola.com its all drag and drop. There are other sights like this as well, some with more tools like Wix.com You will definitely want something with a site builder on-line if your just starting out. Feel free to PM me if you need more help. |
