A little bit of help ~ Thank You!

Posted in Uncategorized, Thank You at 8:32 am by KellyM

I need to interupt the interviews for a moment.  I need to say a huge thank you to two young ladies who have helped me.

First let me tell you that every morning about this time, after I have sent my daughters to school or even on the weekends I am online and posting my interview for the day.  It is not only important to the person I am interviewing, but to me as well.  I promised myself that is what I would do until the very last interview was done.  My family has come to understand that this is something I do. 

Well, on Sunday morning, same as usual, I was on posting.  (I was not going to post because we had important plans that day and I had a lot to do to be ready for that.  But my conscience over took me and I posted.)  After I published the interview, I noticed a huge problem with my site.  Of course I freaked out.  I did not know what happened, or how it could be fixed!  So I went to find help in the forums for WP and reluctantly asked.  I say reluctantly because the people who are on the forums are very technical and didn’t seem to have tolerance for those who are not~like me.  They pinpointed my problem in no time!  A bug, virus, glich, whatever you want to call it, infected my blog, poor thing.  Amazing how fast they found the problem.  But it was up to me to fix, and four hours later I finally figured it out. 

Anyhow, while I was in freak out mode, my two daughters, 10 and almost 9 kept coming in to make sure everything was OK and that we were going to make it to our planned destination.  (So nice of them.)  Well, because I was so involved in the computer thing, I did not notice what they were doing in between visits with me until I was finally finished.  As I was packing up my notes so I could go get ready, now very late and still stressed, my two daughters presented me with the nicest thing anyone could have done.  No it was not flowers or a pretty picture.  Nothing like that.  They presented me with posters they had made for my website.  Advertising they said so I could get more traffic and orders.  Several brightly colored well written posters.  Awwww!  Of course, I thanked them profusely for their efforts and told them I would figure out where to put them so people would see them and know just what to do.  They were so proud and I was so touched by what they had done for me.

So, a HUGE THANK YOU to my wonderful, thoughtful daughters!!!

And to the people who infect computers ~ SHAME ON YOU!  Taking time away from families and others who depend on their computers….Why?  Just because you can does NOT mean you should.  And if it’s beacuse you have nothing better to do, I could find plenty of things to occupy your time better.

And to the people who helped me on the Word Press Forum….A HUGE THANK YOU! as well!!

Ok, on to the interview for the day…
