Since the last post I had got out of the pool.

As 2011 wrapped up I worked a bit on goal setting.

I will focus on blogging on this post.

Currently I have my own URL’s christopherbattles.net and thechristopher.net. I purchased them via Hover.

They are forwarding over to an about.me site at about.me/christopherbattles. That site is set up like a business card with a picture and bio and links.

My current ideal would be to have a Squarespace site.  With their setup I would have hosting and the blogging platform all together and it would all be under christopherbattles.net and the overall management appeals to me .  The cost would be $13.33-22.22 a month, which is not something I wanting to do at this time. (http://www.squarespace.com/pricing/)

I could host my site for free using using what my father has for his business site, but I need to research that some.

Right now all I have is a URL and this blog, but it is http://christopherbattles.wordpress.com.

So what do I want any way?

I want:

• Blog(This could be the home page)
• Everything under christopherbattles.net
• About me/Contact page
• A page or two with links for different things
• Ability to have my tweets on the home page
• Search ability of site/blog
• Good commenting system for the blog (Examples: Disqus or Livefyre)
• Access to edit/blog/comment from any computer(iPhone app would be a bonus)
• Ability to export the blogs and comments to Squarespace or something later

This is to get my thoughts out and explain where I am it in the process now.

I will keep this topic updated.

Thank you for the read.

K, bye

Update 3/1/2012:

– I just saw that people can now comment via Twitter and Bookface along with WordPress.

– christopherbattles.net is forwarding to http://christopherbattles.wordpress.com, instead of the about.me
