If your anything like me, I began to get frustrated with the limited capacity of those platforms. Yes I had a nice lovely blog, but I wanted more! My own brand without the blogittyblog.com stuck on the end with more to offer then just blog posts. I wanted to create content, something that I had total control over, to make into anything I could dream up.

Unfortunetly, there is no "do anything you want" button with blog platforms. So i had to venture out on this quest on my own without anything to lead the way. So what do you do? By now you may have a website with some pages and content on it, but still no way of efficiently posting blogs....

Once you leave your blog platform to create your own website, your booted out the door without so much as an instruction manual! It can be confusing starting from scratch, and you may wonder why you ever left in the first place. Overcoming the troublesome obsticle of not having a way to archive entiries, assign categories to posts, have a way for viewers to comment on your writing. Even the seemingly simple task of having a place to write and automatically post blogs to your page are nowhere to be found. So does this mean we are out of luck? Can't have your cake and eat it too?

Dont lose hope! Blogging with the same tools you had in wordpress or blogger are actually closer to your fingertips then you think! Just like how 'lil cms' is great for easily updating your site elements and content areas, adding a great blogging cms to update, post, and create content is going to take your site to the next level and give you ultimate freedom and control ♥

Theres lots of choices and features to choose from. I'll show you how to find the blogging cms that will work best for you in part two of this article...
