Greetings everyone! Corporate downsizing guided me here and I'm super grateful to have gained the opportunity to pursue my dream of living the dotcom lifestyle. I want to create an online business that not only frees me to set my own schedule, but one that can help me help others.
I'm excited about the path WA will unveil, speed bumps and all. I'm ready to do whatever it takes to sidestep conversations with Bill Lumbergh. Yeah, bye! I'm not coming in on Saturday.
My true passion is outdoor sporting activities that involve wheels and boards and backpacks and boots and balls and discs and bats and nets and... anything that makes me feel like a kid again.
Thanks in advance for any assistance -- this looks to be a very supportive community.
Cheers!

Hey Jon,
I'm throwing down the gauntlet...
Welcome to the 30 day blogging challenge! This training will beneficial to those people who have completed the basic training and are looking to produce more quality content for their own blog.
The 30 Day Blogging challenge was created after speaking with several members that felt that they needed to produce more quality content on a regular basis. The training here is not meant as a one off, more of a kick-start that should be maintained.
The aim of the 30 day blogging challenge....
Thoughts...?

I like where you're going with that. I think the aim should be to produce 4-6 blog posts in 30 days. Not an insurmountable challenge.
My tip is to set a schedule. When I first started, I had a "when I get to it" mentality and didn't accomplish much. After I set a schedule that fit into my daily routine, my productivity increased dramatically.

In the actual challenge, Andrew is suggesting 5-7 posts per week..!! Always with the intent of creating quality content and leveraging with social media. A great boost for your business potentially and a learning experience. Check out Steve Pavlina's blog "Speed Up".

Wow, that's fast, and a true challenge. I guess that's why you're calling it just that.

Got to pull back on my start date for the challenge. Didn't see the 'must have completed the certification course' prerequisite. I'm on Course 3, Lesson 5. Sorry for the false alarm, kinda putting the cart before the horse. Gonna give myself a month to complete the training. During that time i'm going to get prepped for the 5 posts per week program. I'm going to shoot for 2x per week as I complete the training.
Hope your weekend was good. Talk soon...

Hey Jon,
I've got a couple of items for you:
1. Step 1 of your 'CBD in Canada' post:
- contact Health Canada (this is a very large, faceless bureaucracy)
- a suggested alternative might be to call your doctor, or medical hemp friendly facility to obtain an exception.
2. You should create a link to your site on your profile page.
3. I managed to sort out my site with the exception of the Site Icon. After creating the icon, I cannot get the icon on to the page where it belongs. The issue of the PP, worked out very well. I combined the PP and About Me pages; hovering over About Me reveals the button for the PP. So, a no clutter win /win.!!
Also I was trying to get my posts organized by placing them under specific TOP menu items. The solution was to create a right side widget named 'Post Categories' with a drop down menu revealing the number of posts under each category. Another win..!!

Well, 2 out of 3 ain't bad.. :)
Any input on that Site Icon issue would be appreciated..

Hi Mark,
1. Thanks for the insider info! I implemented your suggestion. Sorry you have to deal with a faceless machine. Our healthcare doesn't exactly run on autopilot either and it's far from free.
2. Done!
3. A drop-down is a clean method of hiding the PP.
4. Favicon
I searched here on WA and was going to suggest some trainings but you beat me to it! You've already asked the questions.
I've had some success with wpbegginner. Sometimes you have to go outside these walls: http://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-add-a-favicon-to-your-wordpress-blog/
There are written and video tutorials there.
I bought a plugin called Mega Main Menu that made it really easy. I think it was $17. The menu part of the plugin has a bit of a learning curve but the favicon portion is simple. That's one option if you can't do it the free way.
Good luck!
Best regards,
Jon

Just to clarify and make things easy...
- appearance-menus, I think. Then when the change order button shows up, use the side to side option vs up and down. The PP becomes a sub-menu of the About Me page. Hope that helps clarify.

Mark

Yes -- your drop-down is working just like it should.
There's a down arrow next to ABOUT ME to indicate a sub-menu. Hover over that and the PP page appears.
And, I see you got the Favicon to work. Nicely done!

All good, except I don't see the favicon anywhere..?? At the final step there are two buttons: 'Remove' and 'Change Image', I'm looking for something that says, 'Activate Favicon'. Is that asking too much.?
I created a post today with some reference to CBD and a link to your site, http://choosetoagewell.com/natural-remedies-for-arthritis-pain/
Check it out... :)

Hi Mark,
Thanks for the link! Great article about many different forms of natural relief.
Your Site Icon (Favicon) is displaying just like it should. I tested it on Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge and I can see it in both browsers:

Hey Jon,
Thx for forwarding that screenshot, I see it..!! I guess when you get to the last step it just shows up where it is supposed to..
FYI - that image is the infamous triple spiral (Triskele), symbolic of a cyclical process with 3 stages. e.g. mind, body, soul or
birth, life, death.
Who really cares, right? Well I guess I do, and now that you know you have a special insight and might not look at it like ho hum..just another image / doohickey that is supposed to mean something. What i'm trying to say is that the significance will surely be squandered amongst the many...
Thx for your help with that. Have an awesome weekend..

I've always appreciated the style of the Triskele. I guess I'm biased since 3 is my favorite number.

Hello!!
I would like to congratulate you on making a GREAT decision to become a premium member.
You're going to love the benefits of having a premium membership and it will pay for itself many times over.
I've been a premium member since March 2015, and without any prior website training or internet affiliate marketing, I've been able to create 4 profitable websites (and as a premium member, you can actually build up to 25 sites here at WA at no extra cost - That is truly awesome!)
I wish You much Success and All The Best!

I hope things are going well. I know you are getting rolling within the training and there is ONE thing that always tends to confuse people and that is "what is my niche?".
I know, same thing happened to me when I started.
I just wanted to reach out and let you know that I am here if you ever want to run any niche "ideas" by me or you have any questions about finding your niche.
Get back to me when you get the chance! :)

Thanks, Carson! Things are excellent so far. The caliber of support and the feeling of community are unmatched. I feel anyone can thrive in this environment if they pay attention, take action, and don't quit when the inevitable speed bump comes along.
I'm still early in the journey but confident any issue can be overcome with help from those who've already encountered a similar situation.
Thanks for taking the time to check in.
