BGGE Has Moved

After 15 years, BGGE has moved from Citymax to Blogger. As advertised, Citymax's  website building software includes reliable hosting, secure shopping cart, easy inventory management, and professional email accounts.  Their customer support was excellent. But last year I realized that I did not need all the features they offered.  By switching over to Blogger, which is free, I could save more than $300 a year.

Another reason I decided to move, I wanted to reduce the number of websites I managed.  I maintained  four of my own websites plus three client sites.  Finally, looking ahead, I want my blog to be my legacy.  My aim is to publish quality content that will be relevant to small business owners, students, job-seekers, and "you" after I'm gone.

Although  I had considered this move for over a year, actually switching over is scary.  This is a  major revamp. Each page must be transferred manually.  I apologize for missing pages or broken links during this overhaul. Thank you in advance for your patience.

Welcome to BGGE New Support Blog

Welcome to my new blog.  This blog was created to provide support for BGGE clients through articles, tips, and insights from various small business experts, with an occasional commentary on the challenges and triumphs of an aging freelance entrepreneur (me) working from home.


Not just for business owners, I'll also be adding reviews of some productivity tools that I personally use, a reading library, and resources for students, job-seekers, and retirees over the next few weeks.


Actually, bjg4bgge@blogspot isn't really new.  Initially, it was launched in 2009 as the "What's New" Blog.  I had just started a major revamp of BGGE.com, an 800-page site --- so most of my blog posts were about site updates.  At that time, a blogging tool was not offered by my website hosting provider, so I had to rely on a 3rd party blogging platform like Blogspot.

But things have changed since then.  As I am embark on another major overhaul of BGGE.com, I have decided to do a little spring cleaning - sorting through all my old posts, re-posting the more relevant articles, and throwing out the trash.  Now, site updates will be published on my company blog and Blogger will be used to publish support articles.  Please be patient as I spruce up posts and pages.


 I hope you find my new blog informative and useful.

Currently, I am doing a revamp of BGGE.com --- yes another one.  Over the next few weeks, you might find some pages misaligned, links broken and/or colors, header images, menu buttons temporarily missing.  But in the end, I hope you'll agree that BGGE.com is more visually pleasing and easier to navigate.  Most of the upcoming posts will be related to those changes.  I welcome your feedback and comments along the way.
