I just wanted to give a general warning to ladies who might be building a blog/website with Blogger. It's a great place to start out and play around for free with designing your site and putting features on and such, but if you plan on building a members area or even adding pay buttons via Zombaio, do NOT use blogger. I learned the hard way.
I spent a great deal of time building up my site exactly how I wanted it, getting backlinks and promoting it. Then I decided it was time to add pay buttons to my content and thought that I'd soon want to build a members area. I got a Zombaio account and during the setup found that you need to have full access to your ftp files so that you can create a "members" directory, and you need to be able to install Zombaio's script and create a file called ".htaccess".
This may sound confusing (it is) but I had no knowledge of any of this before starting out, and I learned it and finally got it right. But after countless hours of building my site *just* how I wanted it, I had to scrap the ENTIRE THING and start all over again just to get the price point together. Now I will be rebuilding it all from scratch. I just HAD to share this info because it was such a devastating realization and I'd hate for anyone else to go through what I went through.
Please, please get your own hosting and take your time ladies, if you ever think you might want to add a members area or Zombaio pay buttons to your site!
Good luck.
