You can do anything on WP you can do on a regular website, plus it's easier to maintain yourself. You have some good momentum going here, and it would be great for your potential clients to be able to see your creative ideas. Blogs are so much more dynamic than regular sites.Julie @ Frugal and Fabulous Designhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10449935948182333438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3439316272064745899.post-44736469129187013082010-06-09T15:16:42.624-05:002010-06-09T15:16:42.624-05:00Hey, this is my first time here and I love your bl...Hey, this is my first time here and I love your blog! I love Chic on a Shoestring. I have to look back 5 times to remember centsi-. It's all about being able to spell.

I LOVE what Katie ha...I agree with the group above! I LOVE what Katie had to say, "if you don't know what a shoestring budget is you've never been on one"! I also am not a fan of spelling a business name with a phrase like, "Centsably" because it is hard to find if you are looking for it by name. People would need to remember the spelling to find it. If you googled, "Shoestring" decorating, you would find it, or if you googled "budget+chic" you could probably find it. JMHO!<br /><br />Good luck with your new endeavor!!Vicky@sleeping in an unmade bedhttp://sleepinginanunmadebed.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3439316272064745899.post-29756298259013876652010-06-04T10:55:29.662-05:002010-06-04T10:55:29.662-05:00I have had the EXACT same problem (with my blog na...I have had the EXACT same problem (with my blog name--and being completely indecisive!!) But I really do like the name you already have! And when I researched changing my name there were a lot of things to look out for--when you change your URL then you loose your history in the search engines and will be starting from scratch! As well as making sure everyone follows you to your new spot...just some things to think about. BUT--if you ARE unhappy with your name--do it sooner than later--I did--and I am super happy that I did it before I got bigger (I only had 3 followers at the time--not that I'm much bigger than that now!) Good Luck!

Try to come up with some graphic that people will remember. In my case I think my blog name is way too long but people totally remember the blue balls, lol!

It's just YOU!<br />Blessings on your new venture--I have been a certified interior decorator, stager, organizer since 2000. I stopped working in 2009, to stay home more and get my homeschooled girls off to college- one down, one is a rising 10th grader.<br />So, in a few years, I'll be back.<br />AS far at people searching for the word "Shoestring", they won't. You have to have other tags on google search engine. <br />Blessings to you on your new venture!<br />Be prepared to work hard, but also be prepared to love it!!<br />Hugs!Leslie {Goodbye, house.
