Concept
- Bought Swipe Pages and really wanted a blog for it
- Researched into embedded blogs, didn't like what I found after using one tool
- Reached out to @swami (Swipe Pages CEO) + validated he'd be OK with me creating something a blog tool
- Can't code (where do I begin?)
- Create a landing page
- Post on F6S for free access to Quickblog
- Get about 1 signup every 4 days
