FinallyWell, after way too long I finished all of the training modules. I started out strong but then I got into my site. I'm not sure if my first site will really be the money maker I want it to. That's okay though. It was a learning experience and now 62,000 words and 76 articles later I am working on my second site and doing it right.Managing Through the VirusCOVID did a number on my time management and concentration skills as I am teaching my 6 year old and blogging at the same time.

I get an awesome looking video that doesn't navigate away form the page.I learned with the first page I tried that on, that the code I tried to put in the back office or th

It Feels Like it Happened QuickJust a quick blurb to let everyone know, two days ago I built my site and today I am indexed! The little hand above is me and the huge hand is the almighty Google in case you're wondering. (Now if I could only reply to the comments on my site I'd be good to go.)Working OvertimeI'm not sure how long it usually takes.
