Whining or a Lesson Learned?

Blogroll
I had mentioned, in my previous blog, about having to convert most of my site’s pages to posts, because I found out that only posts will work in the creation of a blogroll
Lost Time
It has taken me 3 weeks to clean up this mess (almost done), which could have been prevented if I had known that Pages don’t work for a blogroll. The lesson learned here must be… “Not to take anything for granted!”
Believe me; if you’re the unlucky one, like me, you don’t want to go through what I had to go through to fix something that could have been prevented in the first place. Don’t misunderstand me, I am not whining & do take responsibility, but why not let all those new to world of Pages, Posts, & Blogrolls know about this issue up front. In my humble opinion, they should know this before a single Page or Post is created.

For some of us who have a limited time/day to devote to WA, 3 weeks is a great loss of time, which could easily discourage a new member to just say “Oh! Forget it! It’s not worth it. I quit!”
I can honestly tell you that I was tempted to do just that myself! Thanks to the fact that I had already gone WA yearly!
Why Did I Write This?
It was not to complain about what I had to do to take care of my issue, but to further warn other to be careful and… Check, & Check Again… everything you do – till such time you’re a pro!
A Blessing in Disguise!
Being the optimist that I am, I can say that my Bootcamp training was put to the test – Fortunately, I had retained most of the knowledge & just went straight to work! I am not, however, eager to repeat it anytime soon!
I hope this will, at least, help a few people who may stumble – like I did!
Best wishes to all,
Jay
