Websites, Cat Puke and Hawaiian Crabbing Feast

By
Real Estate Agent with Elizabeth Anne Weintraub, Broker DRE #00697006

Even while in Hawaii, unpleasant things continue in my life. I am still struggling with my website; it's a never-ending story from last June. A few days ago, the website guys rolled back my site because they had made some sort of error, or inserted code where it should not have been, I dunno, but they wiped out 3 of my blogs. They are having a problem because I have a photo on top of a photo and a slideshow, and javacript errors are happening in WordPress.

In my mind, you'd think they'd spend 30 minutes on this project and they would be done, if they weren't stopping all the time to shoot up crack. I asked them to immediately replace my blogs but that didn't happen, so I had to do it myself. Sometimes you can solve problems yourself and sometimes you can't.

The bad comes with the good, and it's a balancing act, this thing called life. You can read more about it and see the photos in my personal blog today at this link: Hawaiian Crabbing Feast and the Sacramento Cat Puke Report.

I understand your frustration.  We have had 3 websites in 15 years and every time we lose rank and it seems like it takes forever to get up and going.  Now we are midly happy with ours but we're also in the "grin and bear it stages", or not wanting to upset the apple cart again.

Poor Pica.  I have suspected that our Phoebe had a pancreatic disorder for similar reasons.  They ran blood, but nothing.  Even tested her for Feline Leukemia and AIDS.  Apparently, she has Irritable Bowel Syndrome.  She gets Forti Flora daily to try to calm her insides.

Love your husband's sense of humor.

Chris and Dick Dovorany I haven't made it to the grin-and-bear-it stage, so my poor web guy gets an earful almost every day. I bet he's sorry he ever agreed to do this.

Chris Ann Cleland He has foul smelling poop -- so bad I'd rather move to Florida than clean out his box. He's turning into a skeleton. Eats more than ever, too. It is breaking my heart, and I have no patience to wait for test results. The good news is if it exocrine pancreatic related, it is treatable.

Yeah, my husband is pretty good natured. I hope Phoebe is doing well on the Forti Flora and responding.

Don't be sorry.  Give it to him HARD.  He told you he could do the job and you assumed it was without a babysitter.  Now you have to babysit him.  Squeeky wheel.........

Elizabeth, Sorry to hear about kitty Pica.  That's a load of bull crap about your website.  The work we hire people to do is only as good as the people who do the work.  They mess it up and we fix their messes ... and then we pay them more to fix it ... never-ending which is a real PITA.

Kathleen Daniels Thanks, Kathleen. I am hopeful it will all be over soon and fixed, back to normal. It does make me wish I had never touched the site. It goes on and on and on. I'd like Pica to be back to normal, too. But sometimes, we just have to find a way to live with the new circumstances.

One of the reasons I decided to learn wordpress myself, it took a lot of time, but now I can do it all myself, when I want it done & for free. Well worth the investment. Have a great weekend!

I hope your baby get something to help soon.  I hate the waiting for tests too. I'm generally patient, but not for that.  Enjoy your time away and the obviously great food.  And I have no advice on the website.

Stefan Winter There are things I can do myself in WordPress, and I do know a bit of HTML, which is helpful, but I don't understand coding. I also know Photoshop and can design, but CSS is much more complicated.

Thanks, Tammy Lankford . It is so long, it's another 5 days, and I had to wait 4 days just to get him in for the blood work. It's worse than a human HMO.

Good morning Elizabeth.  Well I could have done without the cat puke.  Anyway I do hope he gets better but it doesn't sound good.  Be sure and take photos of all that lobster you'll be consuming tonight.

Why not threaten your web developers with taking care of your cats if they don't get your site up and running correctly?

James Dray I realize now that I should have shot different photos of the lobster, but still . . . I hope you enjoy it.

Gabe Sanders I once threatened my mother with cats, but since I came with the package, that was a lot more terrifying. The cats she would have taken.

Marco looks like somebody is pinching him someplace where it hurts, and he's trying not to convey the pain in his photo.

Kim Stuart It is partly the plug-ins but the guys rebuilt my entire site, so I don't really understand why they are struggling so much and can't seem to finish it. My site was new 3 years ago, and it was up and running in 4 to 5 weeks. It's almost 3 months now.
