Description
Here's the thing about BlueHost. It's very affordable. Does it hold up? Sure. It's a massive company. Yes, there have been complaints, but here is the aspect I like about them: storage.
When it comes to hosting your own site, you need a host, a place to store your web page out there in the world wide web. The amount of space for data and amount of data that is transferred (the more people who view your website, the more that data must be called, used and transfered to that person's computer. this is called Bandwidth) determines the price of your web hosting package.
BlueHost is so cheap for what you get: 300 GB Storage Space and 3000GB Bandwidth. If you actually need that much bandwidth, you probably should be making a million dollars.
And my last recommendation is this and this is something I use no matter what host I choose for a website. Always buy your domain somewhere else and keep it separate. It's easy to leave a hosting company, but if you have your domain and host in the same package, it can be a more difficult process. I like to have control of my domains.

Email Marketing & Blogging Software iContact

Description
I am an e-mail marketing nut and when it comes to reliable, yet affordable e-mail marketing companies, I don't go for Constant Contact, I choose iContact (formally Intellicontact). iContact has proven itself over the years as a dependable e-mail marketing company that let's you deliver HTML formatted e-mails to your e-mail lists with high deliverability and accuracy.
You can track the results too. Let's say you send an e-mail to 100 people. You can see who opened the e-mail, how many times they opened it, when they opened it and what they clicked on. Sounds like big brother, eh? Well, more importantly to me, I can understand how effective my marketing messages are or not.
The other great thing about iContact is that they are continually developing new technologies for online marketing such as blogging, RSS and public newsletter archives. The iContact team is small, yet always useful. I use this with all my clients.

I love the OXO Good Grips Digital Timer for not only baking and cooking, but for blogging, as weird as that sounds. Sometimes, as a challenge, I say I have 10-minutes to write a high quality blog post and that's it. Ready... Go!
Otherwise, it's back to baking pizzas.

High quality photos for something the size of a cigarette box. I'm always amazed at what the Canon SD450 can do. Even the videos are of great quality. This is something I carry on me every single day, no exceptions. Record your life.
