My Progress So Far

Progress.....

I think I went Premium about 3 weeks ago. It seems much longer. In fact, it seems like several months. In that time I created a website and then changed from Rubix to.com after purchasing a domain name. I posted my first blog but it had no pictures because I did not know how to upload images. I then set about learning how to add illustrations. I did not really know about Meta Titles and Meta Descriptions but I set out to find out!

A Second Blog Post.

That was the next step. Oh, I was continuing with the training alongside the blogging and messaging all those people who were kind enough to follow me. Some of those people liked my comments which was really nice. This appeared to improve my ranking, too. But it was slow progress. There did not seem to be much time for what I considered to be "the bread and butter" process of article writing. The second blog post then appeared and I seemed to have got a better hang of the pictures. They are so important as they break up the solid text which is off-putting to so many people in this quick sound bite age. It was a review of my book. "A Cat Has Nine Lives". Is this spamming? I am not very clear on these rules.

Google Analytics

Now, this was fun when I got attached to this. I could see who was looking at my website. I was told that Google had picked it up. Of course, they had otherwise I would see nothing on Analytics. Jaaxy told me I was one page 1 of Bing and Yahoo but that didn't last long. I have no idea what happened there. Anyway, last Saturday was a bumper day as 15 people looked at the site. A bunch came from France and the Ukraine. I have no idea why!.

Third Blog.

I wrote the third blog at the beginning of this week. It was a struggle. and took ages. I made a huge error in the settings for uploading images and couldn't. It took a couple of hours to figure out why. I also found that the recommended free sites like Shuttlecock were not always free. Anyway I published the article on the dangers of sugar. (Can I mention the title of the blog here?) I also went to I-Herb to become approved as an affiliate. I have not heard back so don't know if this has been successful or not. They pay 5% of supplement sales which is not very attractive but I regard this first website as a testing space, so it doesn't really matter. Oh, I also set up an e-mail account linked to my website. It is supposed to send material to my main e-mail, but again it doesn't. Thus, I set up another which works. For the life of me I can't get Wordpress to add me by name as an Administrator.. Life is not exactly a bowl of fruit but it's a great learning experience. There I have done what I was asked as the next task in my training!
