Do You Read Your Own Content?

Sometimes we can get carried away by what to us seems a good idea. We create content that describes this idea which might be a product, an encouraging article or an inspirational message. This may be backed up with supporting evidence, easy to read and pleasing to the eye. We sit back and feel proud of our work. Then wait for the responses (and sales) to come flooding in.Only to feel somewhat disheartened when nothing comes in. What was wrong? Quite often I found that I've written for mysel

Moving my site from WA to another host using WP Clone

I've just moved my siterubix site to another host with my own domain . I've not had any problems with the WA hosting, just wanted to keep all my sites together. I already have a hosting package and some domain names there. Also my e-mails there allow me a little more control. It's a personal preference nothing against WA. I used the "WP Clone" plugin. It worked quite smoothly with only a couple of minor issues - 1. Some odd characters were added to my content (aEUR(TM) and a) throughout the sit

Are Comments and Replies worth your time?

You've set up your site and a visitor left a reply. What does that mean to you? If you answer - Nothing and get on with writing more content I think you are missing a lot. 1.

More work on my site

The Live in Freedom site is growing. I'm getting to grips with WP and have uploaded a few more of my pictures. (Would like to be able to place pictures with text around them so perhaps I need to look at a different theme in WP) I can see more structure coming in the site, which is suggesting the next layers of content :-) Think it's sleep time now though - Nite All !

Some content now on site

Not been too active in the community over the last few days, I've been building content for my Live in Freedom site. http://liveinfreedom.siterubix.com. It aims to help create more freedom in our lives with a major emphasis on Financial Independence, Freeing up more time, dealing with personal issues and helping others. All can hold us back in attaining our goals in life. There will be plenty of scope for directing to WA but also discussions and direction to other areas such as counselling and

Time to stop.otherwise I'll only have to spend more time unravelling the mess made by muddled thinking! Stopping is not wrong so long as you Start again soon! Day off tomorrow so some housework and then get some startup content and get published! Night all :-)

Don't over stretch your brain - Write it down!

Just doing all the training reminds me that my memory is not perfect. So get into the habit of making notes. Not only are they a record but your brain has to process the information in order for you to make the notes. This will ensure your understanding is improved and will strengthen your power of retention! As an artist I usually have a small sketch pad with me to make quick notes or sketches of new creative ideas or reference pictures (e.g. how someone is standing). I've experienced lots of

New to Premium

Just gone premium and think it's time I started a Blog to record what I'm up to. So much to learn, Got to focus and make plans - but unless I have an idea what's out there how do I plan? Just an idea of what is available and briefly what it does is enough. Don't need to understand how it works just where to go to find out when I do need it. So Skim and plan and focus focus focus. Trouble is I want to focus on too much and that's not really focussing. eeek! Well that off my chest I have skimmed
