Leaving WA

Sadly, I'll be leaving WA this week, for personal reasons.I'm not one for long goodbyes, but I couldn't go without saying a big thank you to Kyle and Carson, and to Nathaniell who started it all for me. I've said it before and I'll say it again, Wealthy Affiliate is the best resource of its kind, and a brilliant, supportive community. Huge thanks to all of you.I'd like to think I'll be back at some stage in the future but, in the meantime, my three websites will hopefully continue and I can be c

Monthly or yearly billing?

Hello everyone. I hope things are going to plan for you all. I've been very quiet in recent months, but life can be complicated at times and sometimes we have to muddle through as best we can!Anyhoo, I'm still here and I just thought I'd update you on my billing m'larkey. I posted a question a couple of weeks ago: How do I change from annual to monthly billing? and some of you were able to point me in the right direction, thanks.Obviously paying yearly is the way to go if at all possible, becaus

Convert Posts to Pages or Pages to Posts

Hello. This has often bugged me so I thought I'd share something: I expect you'll tell me there's a much easier way, but I've just discovered a little plugin that seems to work very well at converting a post to a page, or a page to a post. It's called VICE VERSA. Apparently It hasn't been updated in over two years, so that may be a problem, but it does the job for me. I'm well impressed. :)

Goodbye Twitter, I really did try.

I've just deleted my Twitter account. I tried, but I never really got the hang of it and I don't see why I should waste any more time fretting. I think way too much of Twitter it is vacuous and/or unpleasant. We're rightly encouraged to use social media because it can undoubtedly help our businesses, but it's not compulsory, and if we do it's perfectly okay to pick and choose. By choosing to use the social media we like and can relate to, rather than what we think we're supposed to use (ie all

Site Health

Hello gang. Health issues (not sitehealth!), money, family stuff and goodness knows what else have all conspired to leave me rather quiet here on WA. Sorry, but it's just the way it is and we all have to deal with our own circumstances as best we can. I'm still not entirely sure how it works even though I've read up on it, but I love the way our website health is now flagged up when we log in here at WA. I have two sites. I'm ashamed to say one hasn't been touched since mid december and is l

Plagiarism in action

Hello. Grrr... Plagiarism bugs me big time and I want to add my voice to those who have already said what a big 'no-no' it is. Quite apart from anything else, including legal implications, it's bloody lazy. I'm currently researching for an article I'm in the middle of writing about the Alpha/Beta Male and I just came across the following two pages: http://www.worthethic.com/the-alpha-male-syndrome.html http://www.modernmalelifestyle.com/article/Alpha-Male-Syndrome-Good-Bad We all get ideas and

People worse off

So here I am back from my hospital excursion, at last. I have to keep my leg elevated when I'm sitting, which kind of makes it a bit tricky doing this blogging stuff, but otherwise I've not got much to complain about. I know there are people here at Wealthy Affiliate with a lot more serious health issues than mine to contend with, so I'm taking some time to remember that, and I wish all of you a full and quick recovery. Most of us take our health, like so many things, for granted. Please DON

Letting Go...

Goodness me, it seems like I've been away a lifetime. Hello again my fantastic WA friends, and a very Happy New Year to you all! Various things have prevented me from returning to WA as soon as I would've liked, some good, some not so good, but I'm back now and raring to go, at least for the time being. I'm waiting to hear from the hospital about a relatively minor operation I need and I think it's going to happen quite soon, so that'll muck things up a bit. There's nothing I can do about it, s

Complete Garbage

Hello. This fell into my inbox today. WTF? I particularly like "This important expiration notification notifies you about the expiration notice" Hahaha! It looks quite official doesn't it, but I can't find a single sentence that actually makes any sense! :)

I'm still here!

Yes, I know I've been a bit quiet lately (and I'm not the only one) but I'm still here and I'm looking forward to 2015 with my WA 'family'. Meanwhile, I'm staying with my actual family in Bristol UK until the new year so, although I'm doing some WA work, I don't mind admitting I'm not exactly racing along setting the world on fire! . Anyhoo, as I'm a bit of a recluse most of the year, right now I've decided to put my sociable hat on and muck in with the family for a couple of weeks. That do
