Day Three - Progress Report

It's that time again where I babble on about my progress in WA.

I'm going to start off with a negative and end on a positive.

I started my day wanting to solve the google analytics issue and theme code editor problems. Another WA member suggested sending a support ticket. So I did.

If you read my "Day Two - Progress Report" you will remember me suggesting WA might be the reason these are not working. Another WA member replied stating "WA does not block plugins".

After talking to support, it turns out WA or whatever hosting they use for members, do in fact block incoming/outgoing connections and regarding the theme code editor, I have no idea what is blocking that BUT it was resolved once I spoke to support.

I asked support if this is going to be a continued problem with every site I host with WA and after they tried skipping past my answer with a very helpful comment it didn't directly answer until I bluntly asked them to answer them. It turns out, I do need to contact support every time.

As a web developer and owning my own business in this area of work, I've used countless hosting platforms and never have I experienced this.

I did ask why they do this but that was 6 hours ago... still no reply.

Has anyone else noticed these sort of issues? Leave a comment below and let me know how you deal with it.

When I contacted support, they were good, fast and knew what they were doing so that's a bonus.

I'll be lying if I said I don't care about WA blocking connections to one of Wordpress most trusted plugins currently in the market(Google Analytics). And the fact I need to contact support every time I install this plugin which is every time I launch a site. I hope this is something WA can sort out.

Enough ranting, now onto actual progress.

Google Analytics plugin and the theme code editor I managed to sort out with the support team. I finished course two and will be starting course three on Monday.

I created another 1000 word blog and I think I've found an angle on how to come up with creative topics. I've noticed my writing is speeding up as well.

I think the combination of writing the niche site blog posts + these blogs are beginning to structure the way I would usually write and the more I do this, the better my grammar and flow will become.

I mentioned yesterday I was going to switch to Grammarly to check errors etc... I applied that today and It was certainly the correct thing to do. I would advise anyone who struggles with writing to do that as well until the bugs are fixed with WA's writer.

I've also created my sitemap and submitted it to Google + I've created a Google Plus account and Facebook page to get those juices flowing ;) What I learned in about this bit was not that detailed, so im hoping in course 3 it will go into more detail about high authortive backlinking and social links althrough according to Brian Dean social links has no real factor on rankings any more, its purley about content and writing content for influencers to share with their audiences BUT... Let's see what WA has to say.

The course suggests for us to post snippets of our blogs onto different platforms with links. This can be rather time-consuming, so if anyone has gotten up to this point of this article, I've downloaded an auto social media poster for Wordpress, connected my channels and now every time I post on my blog, they get automatically sent (snippet style) to Google, facebook, twitter etc... It's a really handy tool and saves a lot of time.

Once again, I feel this very practical approach to learning and applying is keeping me focused on what I should be doing and achieving. I'm still very impressed with how things are progressing.
