Oh boy! This is something I thought I'd never do... Blog. You know, I'm not big on talking about myself. (Which can be a big problem when you're trying to promote your business. Who knew?) Somehow, I've got to get over that... So, I'm taking an online class on marketing-- and the first exercise is setting up a blog to let your faithful customers know what's new and exciting in your shop. (And I do have some of the best customers ever, so here goes...)
Day one (yesterday): Epic fail. My original website's server has a built in blog function through WordPress. Spent the WHOLE DAY trying to set that up. Um. Yeah. Didn't go so well. But you know, if there's one thing I'm not-- it's a quitter. Sort of. I mean I did quit trying to use WordPress to make my blog, but I didn't let the magnitude of my ineptness stop me from trying again. So that should count for something.
Day two: Success!!! My first post published. Yay me! I actually learned how to customize some of the settings and everything. You have no idea how good that feels after the total failure of yesterday. So I will continue to read, learn, & improve (I hope) over the next several weeks, but for today I'm just going to be thankful for small miracles and call it a day.
Hope everyone out there has a wonderful Labor Day weekend!
