My progress in WA has been steady and satisfying. I feel that I am using a well thought out curriculum that will prepare me to competently operate a website.

I have learned at least something about the following:

WordPress basic operation

Domains and hosting

DNS settings

Redirects/forwarding, at least regarding WA email accounts

Images: where to find and how to add them to content

Blog comments: how to get and give

Key words, how to find and use

Low hanging fruit

Basics of writing content

Gravatars: basics of use

Social Media thru G+, totally new to me

My website is: mypackofdogs.com

Rather than blog about the care and feeding of dogs as many sites do, I have chosen to relate the true story of my dogs helping me to deal with a handicap, The story is actual, physical and perhaps even spiritual in its overview. As a journey for me and my dogs, it touches on the relationships and techniques used in our situation. At this time I am releasing weekly posts of the story in serial fashion. We are still near the beginning!

A success that took a while was getting thru the Gravatar set up. It is still a mystery to me why the Gravatar confirmation emails will not go to the WA email in boxes.

In the next three months my goal is to develop my website to the point of generating some revenue.

In the next six months my goal is to develop my site to the point of creating a steadily growing income.

Both goals would be concurrent with improving the site as a result of my increasing skill level
