Well, I finally did it outsourcing the modernising of my site to a prolific website creator and revamper.
The work was meant to be done in 10 days. However, as I did not know how "modern" my site could look by changing themes, I did not give her adequate instructions...
She also told me only 2 of the 65 posts I have written, have a green light in Yoast SEO....Yoast indicated 63 of my posts had poor SEO features. For example, external links, internal links,
Alt text for images was rarely written....Alt description and meta titles all had to be put in.
So I thought I'd head over to SEO Classes by Magistudios (Jay) to discover how to make my site SEO friendly...
Good thing is - in Digging Deeper In SEO - Video Class Replay, Jay not only expains what SEO is, but he demonstrates 'Live' how to apply the SEO strategy.
Plus he adds a SEO Checklist Sheet to the mix!
So I took a photo of it...

Anyway - this post is about Google Drive slowing down your PC right?
So let me get to the point...I installed Google Drive to sync all my devices so that I could easily transfer photos from mobile to PC.
Then created another Gmail account because I had forgotten my old Gmail password (AGAIN!!)
Recovered the old Gmail account password successfully...
And thought I was good to go...However, when I went to edit my posts and apply the SEO Strategies to them, it was taking up to 30 seconds to load a page, everything slowed RIGHT DOWN!
Panic set in as I Googled how to uninstall Google Drive. How to Close Google Drive as suggested by 'TheCatherine' (now a good friend of mine) and pressed Restart.
After going back and forth from Live Chat to Google Account, to Youtube, to Site Support. I finally managed to 'kill' Google Drive and get my PC running smoothly again.
I wasted 4 hours.
As I speak - Google has unsynced my account and not allowed me to log back into them.
That's a story for another day...
