Since you mention discountasp.net I wanted to say that, for most people, discountasp.net is the most expensive shared hosting you can find. I've been very disappointed w/ the quality of service from every shared host I've used in the past t

I've done some posting on elance before and I will suggest to start with the smallest job (i.e. cheapest) first to get used to working with bids and vendors. Start with a logo + business identity for $300-$500, go with only 5-star people wi

I just came across this and wanted to add my thoughts and reach out to the other Dallas startups. 1) Is Dallas a good city for startups? That depends on your involvement/wants/definition. There's a lot of money here and a lot of good MBA

For ideas I use OneNote ( http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/onenote/default.aspx ). I'm a Windows user and it is part of the Office suite. OneNote is great for bringing order and search to disorganized ideas.

You have a decision to make: can you self-insure for the minor costs or not? By "self-insure", I mean can you handle up to $2500 or $5000 per year of health costs if you had to? You can get $500 deductible insurance plan for $400-$600 or $5

I'd budget 3-6 months if you aren't networking w. smart people already. I've tried dice, monster, craigslist and I expect it takes me 150-200 resumes before I get to one interview.

I don't have a degree either and I have to admit: when I was in my 20s, it bothered me too as I thought, "I might be missing out on something." Today though, running my own business, I see that it worked out perfectly. In my latest job post

Wait - so instead of spending $11.99 on a book that tells you what to do, you advocate spending tons of money and losing tons of sales while you reinvent the wheel? Come on, man...
