But how do you get started building a website? Author and web designer Linda Lee shares detailed tips for building an author website, including free tools to use and an overview of those tools. There are free options to explore, such as WordPress. WordPress.com is free because they host the websites—however, there are restrictions on what you can do. It's a great place to get your feet wet. Practice blogging with a free account if you are nervous about getting started. With WordPress, you can export your free blog into a paid account if you decide to make that transition. In a paid, self-hosted blog, you have no restrictions. You have more design freedom and the ability to place ads on your website if desired. </div><div class='asl-wikipage-media'><a href="https://www.authorlearningcenter.com/cfs-file/__key/communityserver.wikis.components.files/00-00-00-01-64/ALCPodcastLindaLeeBuildingaWebsiteHowtoGetStarted.mp3">www.authorlearningcenter.com/.../ALCPodcastLindaLeeBuildingaWebsiteHowtoGetStarted.mp3</a></div></div><div style="clear:both;"></div> <div style="font-size: 90%;">Tags: fiction, Nonfiction, Subscriber, podcast</div>
