We are off to the races! I hope this is going to be the beginning of a beautiful friendship. If you have been following Hat Nostalgia welcome. Here is the place where it is OK (and even required) to wear many hats.
In this blog I will be looking at all aspects of hats. We will be going through basic information, history, fashion, millinery, personalities who wear hats well (now and in the past), great hat moments in the cinema and all kinds of stuff so stay tuned and do not miss a moment. Please sign up for e-mails and/or the RSS feed (see the top right hand corner of the home page).
I will not be transferring the Hat Nostalgia posts over to this blog. Over the next several months I will be including some of the old material, revamped where necessary. The old site will be kept alive with one post of a picture or video a week for at least three months. I want to give it time to become established.
Thank you for your patience everybody. I bit the bullet and brought the blog over to its own site. First of all I had to be convinced it is a good idea and secondly I had to learn the ropes. Thirdly I wanted to get off on a firm foundation and I did a lot of testing to see if everything was set up OK. In the beginning I just went out signed up for a Blogger account and started writing. I learned a lot of stuff as I went along and of course I had wished I had done certain things when I first started.
I will not go into the ins and outs of this process you probably just want to talk about hats. You may be wondering how this blog thing works anyway and is it possible sometime in the future to make some money from this writing. That’s a great goal in uncertain times. Frankly I am only just beginning and I am not able to retire on money from this blog or my other blog on accounting. I can see a time when there will be some cash flows. I am in the Blog Mastermind program presented by Yaro Starek. My first introduction to Yaro was through his free e-book. I signed on to his course, which includes a forum and other materials by the way. I am glad I did because I am getting increased confidence and invaluable knowledge and I am sharing this with the other members of Yaro’s program. If you are curious about blogging or you know someone who might be please follow the link below and download the free e-book. (You can share this posting by clicking “Share This”and selecting from the options. There is no obligation to buy anything and you will learn a great deal including why Yaro favours the free standing site like this one over Blogger (where my old site was hosted).
There is another resource on blogging that Yaro has started with his friend Gideon. These are videos on becoming a blogger and some very useful tips. The videos are dummy proof they have taught me such things as file transfer protocols. Whoaa. They show you things step by step. That’s what I like and I think so do all newbies. Too many resources on the internet do not take you through step by step. Also Gideon and Yaro are very honest about the work involved – yes it is a lot! This is no way to quick riches and you have to love (or a least be interested in) what you are writing about. You can take a free look at the introductory videos at this link

WARNING: The program is in the first week and there is an excellent introductory rate. It will be over in a few days and the price will increase – really. So please check it out. These are excellent materials and Gideon and Yaro work their hearts out to put it together.
Well I hope you are all as excited as I am about the new site and things to come.
Please comment often and give me you ideas and suggestions.
