My Biggest Mistake at WA Training - Warning - Avoid this mistake!
The Training here at WA is great and if we ALL actually follow them and remember them every time we create another website, nothing so bad should happen, right?
It is right, BUT the only problem is that after we had done all the training and follow each lesson we sometimes forget some of them after awhile and that is what happened to me. I have made some mistakes while working on my website because I forgot some of the tips and tricks that were taught in every lesson.
However, the biggest mistake I have made was not because of that reason, it was because I was disobedient and stubborn that I deliberately do the thing my way even though I knew, we were not supposed to do it.
And guess what happen next?
It caused me a lot of trouble, my website went from good to bad and I had no idea why at the time. I see my traffic going downhill and my bounce rate going up, NOT GOOD at all. Then, I realized that I have many links in my site that do not work anymore so I check all my links and try to figure out why and what's happening.
I found out that the links were not working because I changed two of my permalinks as I was not happy with them.
I knew that in one of the lessons, we are told not to change the permalinks after we published the post or page, but I changed it! I completely ignore that instruction.
And that is the biggest mistake I made, and also the most important lesson I have learned the hard way.
So do not be silly and stubborn like me!
If you have made this same mistake, check my next blog about how I fixed the problem.

Thanks for your honesty Alexx. I think many of us make dumb mistakes, but the important thing is that we learn from it. : )

Hi Pio,
Thanks for sharing that. It's kind of nice to know that I am not the only one being silly messing up with the WA training, I bet there are many of us, BUT I am sure we ALL have learned our lesson or have we?LOL

Ouch Maria. Yeah you don't want to change the permalink ... I bet you won't do that again and will never forget that tip.
I've learned many lessons the "hard" way but those are the ones I will never forget. Well except the one about taking things out of my pockets before putting my clothes in the wash ... I seem to keep forgetting that one. Must be a character flaw or something. :)
I hope everything works out well for your site.
ROCK ON!'

Hi there,
Thanks, for sharing your mistake about taking things out of your pocket before putting it on the wash. I am pretty sure you are not the only one who keeps making that same mistake. LOL. And yes, I will never ever do that same mistake again. I have to train myself to just follow the rules and NOT break it to avoid troubles. I am normally good in following rules and instructions but not sure why I chose to ignore the warning, I felt like a rebellious teens. :)
Have a great day!
