    I need to combine some things into 1 website and would like to know which one I can roll it all into without any problems.

    Here is what I have that I want to bring together onto the page -
    My YouTube Channel
    My Blogger page
    My Razzi Photos
    I have some other things that I plan to add as well.

    I know I will be able to post my photos
    I know it won't be too hard to post videos either.
    I was just checking out GoDaddy, but not sure if I can tie in my Blogger page or not.
    They show other blogger add-on apps, but not blogger.

    ANY FEEDBACK WILL BE APPRECIATED!

    Blogger ok - but you get stuck with the "blogspot" moniker in the URL (although I think they've since updated that).

    I create mine in direct HTML / CSS. If you can't do that, look to get a template and modify it.

    Push comes to shove, Wordpress is decent, but it will cost you. Plenty of great templates out there to help you.

    So basically I would be better off to just start the website and include a blog on there without linking it to my Blogger page? Just curious! I have several ideas running through my head and I am in the middle of the research at this point to see what I need to do.

    Does the about.me page not do this all for you or do you want it to live on your own site/server?

    Pay some guy to put it together for you in three days. Save you a headache.

    about.me is fine if I want to tell people about me, which to be honest, I may actually use it in the future.

    My apologize. I thought it was for a personal page that could direct people to your various online social media and such.

    For business, I would say build your own site with own domain. Allows control and not having to rely on mediums to source your problems.

    If you will be making money off the site, be sure to hire a designer/developer. I've dealt with many customers who want a free site and it just ends up making them/their business look bad. The ROI of a good business site is priceless!

    No Problem! I was checking into GoDaddy. Still doing a little research.
    I have enough artistic ability to be able to know when too much is too much. If and when I get around to it, I will have the help of a friend that knows his stuff.

    Just some FYI -
    I plan on doing several different things, so I may end up doing a few website for each of them. But the hobby stuff, like my Photography, Videography and Blogging will be all rolled into 1 place. However, I will you each site to promote the other.
