Moving On To The Next Level!
When I joined WA I had the greatest fear of blogging. Well, I believe that fear is in the past. I suppose after writing all the blogs I wrote I should be a third grade writer by now. All along I thought blogging was going to be my biggest hurdle, I was wrong!
Hurdle number one was figuring out how to get my posts up on the top menu. I wanted my potential customers to be able to click on a category and see a pop-down menu. I just could not figure it out and I have to tell you that just 3 days ago I finally did.
My theme, in my opinion, looked pretty dull. I thought if I added a banner that would add some spark to my theme. But no, adding a banner to the header was not easy for me either. Guess what I did. I blamed it on the theme, said bye, bye to the old and hello to a new theme.
I know it wasn't the theme's fault, but I have a banner and logo on my website now, and I like I my theme.
Getting indexed by Google Search; what a hurdle that was. I read and read so many questions and answers. I tried this and I tried that. Nothing worked, I watched training videos and read some more. I tried Google Search again. No indexing, always that big fat 404 error.
Then I learned through all my reading I could actually ask for help, and contact Site support. Just this morning my site was indexed! THANK YOU SITE SUPPORT!
Site Support also led me to screenshots. They pointed me to software download. I can do screenshots now!
So I must say that blogging wasn't my only fear. I knew it was hard for me to catch on to technical stuff. I am progressing and I will never give up until I reach my first goal, which reminds me; I made one teeny tiny sale. Yea!
With those hurdles behind me, I am now moving on to the next level !
Thank you everyone for all your help.

Very recognizable, I could have written this in my first month here too. Congrats on your first sale! When you ever have questions, do not hesitate to contact me, when I don't know the answer, I probably know who has or where to find it:)
Thanks so much Loes. I suppose most people experience those hurdles. I do appreciate your offer of help.
