Hi,
I moved to Canada in 1997 from Wales - UK.
I've been running my own Stone masonry business up here in Ottawa for over ten years now. Not many people do the type of work that I do, so finding work and charging what I want isn't a problem.
I enjoy doing stone work but would much prefer to work from my laptop, wherever and whenever I want.
My wife and I have been together for over 20 years now, (wow time goes fast)
I guess you could say we started our family early because my wife (girlfriend at the time) went into labor on my 17th birthday.
Many people including family members said it wouldn't work because of our ages. So I guess we them.
We now have two beautiful girls 18 and 9 and don't plan on having any more :P
I'm a big wordpress fan and if you need help with something related to wordpress, feel free to contact me, I have many training videos up here at WA and many more on my Youtube channel. Link on right side some place >>>>>>
I'm currently working with local clients most of the time with another family member, he's great at selling and talking with clients, so I generally handle all the technical stuff.
Wishing you all much success for 2014.

Hi Welshy,
I have been following your very good tutorial on Setting up Google Authorship ... but I cannot get past the part where I have to go to "Links" in About Me in my Google + account. I do not have a Link section despite searching and searching!!
Are you able to advise me? Many thanks

Hi Welshy,
Followed your video tutorial on filezilla to add a zipped theme (themify-ultra) to my theme folder in wp-content (webmotivational.com). Once it's there how do I open it to install it.
Thanks in advance for your assistance cheers

Hi Welshy,
I have transferred my own domain name to WA. But I want to operate the email accounts for the domain name in godaddy.
I already have the CNAMES and MX RECORDS from godaddy. How can I add them to my domain's DNS Zone File in order to get my email accounts with godaddy to work?

Hi Welshy,
Thank you for taking the time to follow me, I really appreciate it!
Your story of how and when you and your wife began your family and the nay saying is a very familiar one and it sounds like God has blessed you in that regard! What an inspiration! I too, am married to a very lovely lady of 38 years and blessed with two wonderful adult children and three very handsome grandsons!
I'm new to the marketing circuit and excited to be part of such a wonderful group of people! Hopefully, I can learn more from you as I progress! Any pointers or advise you can offer, would be well received my friend!
I've been a construction project manager working at the same place for over 16 yeas and approaching retirement! I'm planning to go slow with this program at first to ensure I fully grasp all the fundamentals before moving forward with more concerted effort!
God bless you and your family!
Paul

Hi Welshy, just wanting to connect with you... and say thank you for the blog, Send & Receive Domain Email via Gmail - Updated 2015. Late 2014, such a setup was not working which prompted me to move my sporting websites from WA to another website hosting company (bluehost).
Now that that gmail is compatible with WA webhosting I'm leaving these websites in WA! :-)

About WP backup:
hello. I read a comment from someone who said that WA backs up our sites daily and therefore we don't need to backup our site. Is this true? I know you did a training on DropBox back up which I used. I thought it was necessary. I also remember the disasters that some WA members had when they lost their site files. I didn't see them going to WA support to find a back up. What do you think?

Hi Tae,
I'm not 100% sure how WA backups work, I do believe daily backups are created, but I was under the impression they had something else in place too.
Either way, you should always be creating your own backups, just the other day a member by mistake deleted his site and support could not restore it.
I explained to him how he could find the content via Google cache so not all was lost.
I know Kyle says: "Full Redundancy (100% backed-up to the minute)"
But what exactly that means is beyond me.
The question I would have is, can WA backups go further back than one day.

Hi Randy,
Every plugin you add is one too many, but for many of us we need several of the commonly used plugins.
If you use WA hosting, then one good thing is they keep a close eye on the plugins, any that make too many quires will be looked into and blocked if required. (in some cases)
Plugins are all different, some don't affect load time etc because they just add features to the backend.
Website load time is important for users and Google, the more plugins the slower it will likely become due to more requests that the site makes.
I like to test sites using http://tools.pingdom.com/
Test your site and see how it scores, if you refer back to this tool from time to time, you can see the history from previous tests.
Not only that, it show you how much time each file or request takes to complete.

Hi Welshy. You seem very knowledgeable so I'm going to ask you this. Will the website I build within WA be like one I build outside WA? I know there are certain advantages to private hosting. The reason I ask is that I see some blog posts on people's WA sites that don't look like they are meant for mass consumption. They seem almost like Facebook posts. Can you help with this answer? I've only been here 1 day and will upgrade prior to my time running out for the discounted first month. Right now I'm doing the lessons and figuring out how to navigate around.
Mostly though I'd like to know about the website I am to build.
thanks in advance, karen eldred

Caught you via the girl who was "freeking out". Nice job.
So I am new to this outfit. Think I’ll make you me first follow dealy-bob.
So you came across the pond to settle down in the up yet under the tundra, the land called Canada. And a stone worker, any relation to Michelangelo? I thought concrete was difficult (& back-breaking) enough.
Just drop’N ya a line say’N hello. Cograts on the family thing et. al. Good fer you prove’N em on the wrong.
