Hi guys! Okay, I’m starting a new adventure here! I hope you all join me as I journey into the world of blogging!
It’s been a year!
Last year I was updating my planner and I found a checklist of things to do. Start a blog was on the list.
So where does a person go when they want to create their own website / blog? YouTube. Of course! I watched a bunch of videos on starting a blog. I bought my domain name and hosting.
I watched so many videos and read so many great articles on starting a blog, after awhile, everything was a blur. But I finally found a tutorial that I followed along with. It was one of Tyler Moore’s tutorial about installing WordPress. I had WordPress, elementor, and the plugins all installed. I even added some of my own photos to the posts. I was on my way!
Then everything in my world pretty much stopped. In July 2021 my husband had a big setback in his health. I didn’t continue with my new adventure. I let it sit, completely unattended.
Forgotten website…
Starting Over
I watched a video about uninstalling WordPress. I thought, okay! How hard can it be! I’ll uninstall and start fresh with a new blog theme and website. I watched the video and followed along as she led me through the steps one by one. Totally uninstalled my website! YAY! EEKS! I could not log back into WordPress. What! I tried for hours to get a reset email. I tried every email address I own. Not one worked as a reset. I ended up calling Bluehost customer service the next day. My tech guy told me I didn’t have an email associated with WordPress. Well. No wonder I couldn’t log in. When I break something, I break it good. Tech guy helped me get an email associated with WordPress. It worked. Here I am.
Why Now?
Well, now that my life has been turned upside down and inside out, but it is settling down, I’m always looking for new things to do. My SS (stroke survivor husband) isn’t requiring as much of my time. So I need something to occupy my time. I thought. Oh. Hey. This is the perfect time to start a new blog. I’ll tell ya, it has been a learning experience! But here I am! My first blog post!
Learn Something New!
I love the idea of creating my own website! I followed one of Tyler Moore’s newer videos on setting up a blog. His video is so easy to follow along with! I’m telling ya, if you want to start a website, check out Tyler’s videos! He walks you through the process from the very beginning steps to the very end… and look! I am a blogger! Haha! At least my first post is up…
Thank you for reading! Please continue to join me on this new adventure! I would absolutely love it if you would leave me a comment!
