I have returned!

Hi guys,It's been a long time since I've been here and updated my websites. Part of this is due to the amount of time I've spent travelling over the last few months and barely having any time to myself, and another big part of it is that I fractured my wrist and also have soft tissue damage, so my computer access has been limited while I'm healing up.Now that I'm at home and getting the chance to rest a little more, I'm gonna be catching up on my websites and making sure to stay updated. Never

Progress Stalled

I've been without a computer for the last 2 days because some error was caused during an automatic update. I couldn't load Windows because I kept getting an error screen that was rebooting on a loop.I tried everything and stayed up for 30 hours straight trying to fix it with system restores and editing command prompt but nothing worked.In the end I had to completely format my hard drive and do a fresh install of Windows, so I lost everything I had on my computer.That'll teach me to back up my st

Going Yearly Soon

Today I received the best news of my life...I entered a competition from a well known UK TV show last month. Today I got a call telling me I'd won. I couldn't believe it at first.I didn't even answer the first call, because it was from a number I didn't recognise. I googled the number to find out who it was and found out it was ITV; one of the biggest TV stations here.I called back and my phone cut out, but luckily they called me right back.After verifying a couple of things the nice lady told m

Ranking in Google

After upgrading to Jaaxy Pro I decided to have a quick look to see if any of my posts are ranking yet in Google. Considering my site is less than a month old, I wasn't expecting much. I was just curious since I now have unlimited access to the tool.I came to find that my first blog post, which I published on June 15th, is ranked 129 (page 15) for the main keyword and 158 (page 16) for the secondary keyword. While it's far from being on the first page, I think it's a good start and was pleasantly

Time Flies When You're Having Fun

My first intention was to make a new every couple of days and I found that once I'd finished one post, I'd want to start on a new one straight away. I didn't want to overdo it, though, so I started drafting posts and making outlines so that when I was ready to post, I had a template to work on and could just flesh out the posts.I currently have 8 posts drafted, some with just a title and others with a little bit of content to give me guidance when it comes to actually writing it and getting it p

Lazy Day

I've had a really lazy day today. I woke up at 5:30 am, feeling refreshed, productive and motivated. I decided that I was going to work on my sites as much as possible, since I had the entire day to do so.I wrote one page.One.Page.Ironically, that one page was about how to stay motivated...In my defence, though, I've been feeling a bit blah today. I've had an ache in my left arm all day that has made me miserable and my medication is taking it's toll on me and I've been pretty light-headed and w

Using the Site Comment Feature Correctly

I think the new Site Comment feature is great and I've received some wonderful comments from WA members so far. I also have a 100% approval rate on the comments I've left for others.Over the past couple of days I've seen a few people talk about comments being rejected, either in chat or in comments related to the feature, and they don't seem to understand why.The point of this post is to give you an idea of why your comments may be rejected and what you should do to ensure that they are approved

Very Inspired!

Following up on something I mentioned in my last blog... I checked my webmail yesterday and found that I have an email there from the founder, president and CEO of WeSpeke... an app that I mentioned just once on one of my pages.The email was mainly just to promote his own website to me, but still... the fact that I was found and contacted is a big thing to me.This is incredibly inspiring and I think one of my next steps (when I have a little more content) will be to write a review of the platfor

What a Ride so Far!

I feel like I've accomplished so much in such a short space of time. I've had my website now for 10 days and with the training here so far (I'm coming to the end of Course 2) I feel like I have a very strong foundation. I'm definitely looking forward to the future.While I only have a few posts made on my blog so far and a little over 300 page views, I know I'm getting somewhere. I have a number of low QSR keyboards ready and post titles drafted out. The first thing I do every day is come here an

WA Kept Me Up All Night!

I joined a matter of hours ago and just worked my way through the entire Level 1 of the Online Entrepreneur Certification and upgraded to premium. It's 5:16am... Safe to say I'm already loving WA! Now I need to sleep...
