Wondering if my learning curve is going to turn into a barrage of major league curveballs. I'm standing tough at the plate, digging in, and laughing at myself... But I don't see any Bob Gibson-type knockdown pitches coming.
My website design guru tells me we are almost there, and I have wanted a new webhosting service. So, Friday, I changed domain name registrar, taking my webhosting business along for the ride.
And my primary email is through my webhosting service.
Forgot that it can take DAYS for the change to become effective.
Meanwhile, I am activating the WolfNet IDX solution, as provided by Keller Williams.
Furthermore, just for giggles, I activated my Treo 700WX verySmartPhone Friday evening. Wow, TMLS on the go. When I get to it.. First I have to get the data into it through sync and some manual input.
And I just bought a Ford Edge, a smarter car than the beloved and simple classic Mercedes. It came on a dealer trade and the manual is lost in the shuffle. Can't figure out some of the functions, but most of it is intuitive enough.
Now going into my second day without my website open for business and primary email not working, and having time to reflect. And I'm sweating a few bullets.
1. I sure hope the tech support at the new web host firm is as good as I think it is. Already told them I am in over my head.
2. Feeling really cut off from the world. Wonder how many folks think I am ignoring their emails. (Note to self: Next time warn the database before pulling the plug. And offer up the secondary email address.) I've had so many contacts lately, I feel like Best Buy with the doors closed on Black Friday.
3. Can't wait to get it straightened out and take my new website live. With blog on my home page, IDX seach right up front, and a shakedown cruise. Maybe even a link to ActiveRain!
4. No email is giving me a chance to get more familiar with the Treo verySmartPhone. Smarter than I am, but I'll wear it down.
Anyway you slice it, I will come out ahead, and learn a few things, and improve my SEO. And it should help my clients and prospective clients across the board as I adjust to the upgrades.
