Hope all you Mother’s had a wonderful Mother’s Day yesterday.

I had a wonderful day  – church, dinner made by my sons, and a relaxing evening.

I feel so grateful that I have this wonderful life with my family.  And that I am doing things in my life that I love – music and developing my online business.  Bit by bit, I know it’s all coming together.

In my network marketing business I achieved great things over time on a part time basis…and I didn’t even have the Attraction Marketing training that I’m learning now.  So that reminds me that even greater things are possible!!

Ok, so on to my next assignment, if you will….

Creating a Static Home Page for my blog…

to give it more of a website look…

I got some pointers from my coach and also found this WordPress Tip of the Day video on creating a Static Home/Welcome Page and Blog Page (for blog posts).     I know, the lingo can get a little confusing.  But stay with me.

By the way…

I highly recommend subscribing to their daily tips for support with YOUR WordPress blog.

It was very easy to follow.

I actually had to refresh my page several times, and it was only after deactivating my theme and reactivating it…that my static page finally appeared.

It can sometimes take patience with this ‘techie stuff’…..   But I’m a mother of two boys – I’ve learned patience along the way….Lord knows.   So THIS Internet stuff, I can handle…one step at a time.

My coach gave me the following tips:

Now about the Static Home Page…

Before you create a static home page you must first have written out exactly what you want your new home page to say. This eliminates downtime as you transition from your current layout of showing blog posts ont he from page.

You will want this message to be set up as to say: “Welcome, you’re in the right place if… Here’s where you need to start and/or how to get the most out of your visit with me.”    See her site – SavvyBusinessMom.com for a GREAT example an effective welcome page.

Happy to say that I followed through and got my own static welcome/home page up.   I can always go back and tweak it later, but it has the components she talked about.    I’m learning to get things done and not worry about it being perfect from the beginning.  I can’t adequately express what an accomplishment THAT is for me….to keep my perfectionism in its place so I can keep moving forward.   HOW FREEING!!!!!!

So after I publish this post, I will see if this post goes on my Blog page as I suspect ….ur HOPE it will.

Then I need to hide the categories of my blog…or do I?   I’m talking outloud, but atleast I’m thinking about how all of this works.

I tell ya, I was talking with my childhood friend/neighbor and  Renegade Professional (Internet and Attraction Marketing Training) coaching client Rita Berry.   We both agreed that learning these Internet Marketing skills is like getting a college degree.   I’m proud of Rita and me!   We are going for it….and won’t be stopped…..can not stop!!!

Ok, enough said, let me publish this post and see what happens….

Be back later.

I’m really feeling great about the consistency and momentum I’m building.

Have a great day everyone!
