Why is this so difficult? It's time for me to get out of my own way.

I am now about 4-5 weeks into a class that is designed to help us start and build our ePortfolio site. I am grateful that we have an entire class dedicated to just starting our ePortfolio, however, I must admit that I am still just as confused on one thing now as I was when I started the program. I have no idea what hosting to use for my site going forward. I started with a free Wix site in my previous class knowing that I would have to really build my ePortfolio in this class. The only website experience I have recently is with Google Sites and we have been advised that using that platform will lead to some roadblocks so I have been researching other options. I started with Wix because it was free and easier to use for me than WordPress. But, here are the questions that I keep finding myself going back to.

• If I'm going to make a change to my hosting site should I do it now or later? In my research, I've been slightly overwhelmed with all of the options out there. I want to pick the right one for me, but it's hard to do when this is all so new to me.

• Do I want to pay for a hosting site or use a free one? I've been going back and forth with this one for the past month, and probably will for awhile yet. The paid options will offer me things that I cannot get with the free option, but I'm not sure if I'm ready to pay the money for something that I'm still learning about.

• Do I want to "merge" the site that I've been trying to create for over a year for my training and consulting business or do I want them to be separate. I currently have started that other site as a Google Site and I could merge it with this ePortfolio.

• How much time am I willing to waste on this one struggle? I feel as though I'm holding myself back and getting behind with the rest of my class because I am keeping myself held up on what platform to use.

I am giving myself another few days to focus on these questions and then I will be moving on. If I don't make a decision I could be on this hamster wheel for the next year.
