Progress and Problems

Progress

I have truly entered a world that I know little about.  After doing a lot of research about blogging – and trying to make a profession of it or at least to use it to drive business to product, I decided that having a WordPress-hosted site was no longer enough. I discovered some fantastic resources and blogs online and had some discussions with friends and professionals; this research led me down the road to buying my own domain name and blogging under that name. If I had known what I was getting myself into, I might have gone back – screaming – into the WordPress world.

Here I am two days later, having accomplished a TON but now knee deep into a project full of frustrations and difficulties. Can we say “up shit creek without a paddle”?

Today I made some massive progress which further contributed to my feeling that I know NOTHING about how to do any of this. At times I pumped my fist, gave myself a high-five, and even started jumping up and down on the couch I was so happy. This jubilation was quickly halted by my running smack into a brick wall.

On the outside, it looks like “travelwithheather.com” has made a quantum leap forward.  The “things I can’t do” list has gotten smaller, but the techie part of this project is still daunting.  David and Goliath-type daunting.

I’ve added some content and links to my other blogs that definitely beef it up. But it’s still anemic.

Thanks for sticking with me while this site and business evolve.  Feedback is always greatly appreciated!
