Hello Amanda, we're all facing the same struggles with you at first. But look, your website looks very nice now, just do some more tweaks on it, adding more content to it. Human is not born perfect. We have to learn the skills though.

Now, if you feel confused at some mess, just break it down into small chunks and solve it from there. After breaking your questions/ matters, asking it here one by one until you get the exact anwser. It's also the way of learning, asking questions is an effective way of learning. We will memorize the solutions to our mistake much longer, meaning our obstacles have just been overcome.

Please break your message/ article into shorter paragraphs. Like your above blog post, there're no paragraph break though. Our eyes will get tired when trying to read the whole long page...This also applies to our website articles. Try to keep the paragraph 3 or 4 lines max. I think this is also a small tip that we need to apply.

You see we learn things every day, step by step...Just be consistent and keep moving forward...

I hope my idea make some sense to you. So, best wishes to your future success.

Hey Amanda, It's alright everyone goes thru what you are experiencing, the frustration of not knowing all the answers, also the frustration over getting everything perfect. But,you know what Amanda like I found out is you do not need to have all the answers.

As time goes by you will gain more and more knowledge do not fuss over it, and don't ever bang your head against a wall for not having the perfect website, trying to tweak it this way and that like I have done and I would always give up, but you know what just keep it simple and write the best content you can within your chosen niche.

Your website does not have to have all the bells and whistles to make it successful. Amanda by all means DO NOT GIVE UP,success will find you, remember without failure there can be no success, so give yourself a chance keep it simple and learn as you go so you do not overload your brain

As you do this you will find that you will start doing things that you never thought you would be able to learn and accomplish. I hope for you much successes, Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Hi Amanda, I hope you feel a little relief as well as encouragement from the comments posted so far. Give more focus to your accomplishment each time, no matter how small. Hang in there 'cos we are cheering you on. As they say "little drops of water make a mighty ocean". Step by step, you will get there. Enjoy your Christmas! :)

I understand exactly what you mean. I guess the key is, keep pushing through it and dont give up, and eventually it will become like second nature to you.

Hi Amanda
Yes i've felt like you because once the initial excitement wears off, the real work begins and it can be really hard and frustrating.

But I'm going to be harsh here. You write really well and you have the start of a nice site - but only you can decide on your priorities.. Take a break over the next few days and then come back to it with a fresh eye.

Your article on the home page : Basic Care Knowledge. Personally I would revise this - because of the length. I would have short article just giving a a short paragraph on each of the issues, exercise, feeding etc and then I would have a link to separate pages - one just devoted to exercise, one just devoted to feeding, one to grooming etc. The reason for saying this is that you talk a lot about the exercise and then it appears at the end you have run out of steam. Just a thought

Good luck

(oh ps. And keep changing the different parts of the theme is no where near as important as keep adding quality content)

I understand where your coming from.I ve deleted a couple already lol, Ive just got one. I notice with these websites they more like a blog just add a picture. If you get what i mean. I cant seem to add a lot of the pages to where i see it on the home page. for some reason it can only show 5 pages on my site not the rest.

It can get overwhelming, but don't let it get you down. It is good to learn all the customization for your sight, but like you said, take your time. Walk away for a minute and regain composure, it will still be there when you return. :)

- Best Wishes

Hey Amanda. I think everyone suffers "information overload" at the start, I know I certainly did. It's just a question of doing each stage of the training, step-by-step, not getting "diverted", asking for help when necessary and then rinse-repeating. I didn't learn to swim or drive a car without practice. :) I arrived at WA with zero knowledge and the original training may as well have been in Klingon for all the good it did me, however Vicky kindly put together a "glossary" which you might find useful. https://my.wealthyaffiliate.com/veronica-l/blog/wealthy-affiliate-glossary-word-book-for-the-im-beginner If I can do this, anyone can, promise! :) Rich.

Don't worry, what you're feeling is perfectly normal. That's why it's best to take a systematic approach, and if you'd rather just plunge in and mess around with the website settings, you can create an experimental site to do that with in the meantime. Imagine expecting yourself to learn to read in just a few days, or even weeks. In a way, this is all like learning a new language: very exciting, very frustrating, and ultimately very rewarding.

Hey Amanda. I can relate, I was like this at the start. But I learnt a lot from experimenting with settings and just like you, I ask a lot of questions. Don't lose confidence! If you ever need any help, just let me know. I can even offer to go through settings through Skype screen sharing.
