Progress is Slow!

This post is to make you laugh, if nothing else as I feel like I am going at a snail's pace (hence the picture, lol).

I thought that I would try out different themes or alter the title on my test website to find out what I liked for my main website. However, after spending most of the day on my test website as I didn't want to cause a critical error trying various things on my main website, I have caused a critical error on my test website. Support are actually trying to fix this for me now.

So I have given up. I have spent enough time on this already. I cannot see a theme that I like on word press or Generate Press and I don't feel I have the experience yet to go about changing things.

However, I have manged to upload a plug in to change a post to a page and have now got a static page on my website which I am quite happy with and my posts are showing on the left-hand side. Not being a techie, I had to watch YouTube on how to do this.

From now on, I think I will just concentrate on creating content.

I did have a look at Google Analytics, but I cannot figure out if any of the traffic is mine, all 34 page views, as my IP address keeps changing on my computer (which I had set up months ago). I have blocked the IP address on my phone which is tied to my router on Google Analytics which is something.

If this is a disaster and I don't make any money, then I will at least have tried.

At least, if nothing else, this lets you see how well you are all doing.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend, everyone.

With the fondest regards.

Helen

Take your time. There is no race involved in learning online websites. Follow the training here each step and do not look at other YouTubes, since it can serve to confuse. Stay with Kyle and the training at Wealthy Affiliate. After you get through the courses you may feel like going outside the box and changing things, yet remember the most simplistic sites make some very good money. People want value content more than a glamorous website.
Take care,
Bill

That is amazing advice.

Slow...but sure...I hope, Helen!

Thank your encouraging comment Jeff. I know I will get there in the end.

Helen

Yes, you will, indeed, Helen!

Jeff

Sounds like you have growing pains, Helen, just continue to take your time and things will work out. Don't worry so much about your theme, pick one that looks decent and loads fast, then learn to work with it. I wish you the best of success in all of your endeavors, be patient and it will work out.

Thank you. Guess I was just having a frustrating day.

Helen

Keep up the great work
