He shares how to set up a self-hosted Wordpress site in only 20 minutes. <br /><br />I am curious why you'd choose WordPress over Blogger? If you think it's more professional or more respected, that's not the truth at all. It's also harder to set up and maintain for most people. But it's a pretty good platform (the free version - the paid version is the BEST out there). But I'm very familiar with both, just email me if you run into trouble.

BUT you can override that. Here's a post I did on how to see what you want in your Facebook feed: http://thewriteconversation.blogspot.com/2012/11/social-media-mondaycan-i-set-what-shows.html.<br /><br />I'm not sure what you're talking about with the links for the birthdays and invitations.
