Two Weeks In

Hello All,

I am two weeks in, and wanted to share my experience so far in WA. I love the community atmosphere.

I was making great strides towards my goal, when last night I destroyed my website. Some of y'all might have seen and commented on my first review page. Well there were some bugs in it, like the link to the post on my home page didn't work, and the comments didn't work. So I tried to fix it. Ha. :( I read someone saying they had the same problem, and that they just copied the content to a word document, then deleted the post and created a new one).

Well, I did that and when I posted my content back into the new post box, all the formatting was gone. So I was bummed. Then I thought, oh wait, I have a backup. So I researched how to restore a backup copy, thinking I would find another way to fix the problem. So I added the plugin "Adminer" to my site, and imported the backup that was on my computer.

Phew!

But to my dismay, the backup was 7 days old, back to when I added the "under construction" images. Not only was it not the correct backup, but I thought I had lost a 1220 word "Getting Started" page. I wanted to cry.

So looking at the backup that did import, I noticed my original menu item "A Better Way to Wealth", when I clicked on it, there was the entire post. I had created the Getting Started menu item to replace the other one. Wow, what a rush.

So here I am, not quite at the beginning, but definitely put a damper on my momentum. Other than that, I am thankful for all of you here at WA for your advice and support. I am here to stay this time.

I joined in August of 2013 and never gave it a shot. I was training with Chris Farrell Membership at the time. There was good training but nowhere near what I have found here now that I am going forward with WA. I will post my reconstructed site for comments once I clean it up. Thanks for letting me ramble.
