Hi Margretta, Although I'm not disagreeing with you about needing to be an experienced user of WP to make use of a framework. I think that statement would be accurate for anyone wanting to customize ANY type of theme. Unless you're taking the theme, as is, straight out of the box with no...

Great! I personally don't recommend Elegant Themes. I purchased their package a few years ago and almost pulled my hair out trying to customize the themes. It was very difficult because at least at the time, they were not built on a framework. Not sure about Headway. Frameworks are easier, IMO...

Thanks to everyone who replied in this thread, even if your comments weren't directed at me. As for me.... I am all over the place in terms of my emotions. It's sort of like that "11th Hour" kind of feeling. I feel like I'm hanging by a thread....want to kick some butt....want to try one more...

You might want to try something that is built around a framework. That way the code of the framework can be constantly updated and secured, but it won't break the theme (look and feel) of the site. There are several Wordpress Frameworks out there. I like the Genesis Framework coupled with a...

Yeah...unfortunately (for me) a year+ of a "Slush fund" didn't seem to be enough. I made lots of mistakes along the way, I'm sure. But still...I'm starting to think that some people just don't have the "discoverability" to be an online business owner. Call it karma. Call it one's aura. I don't...

This post is old...but I suggest using Canva.com THey have some really great templates. The service is free if you use free images. You can upload your own images. If you use a premium image within Canva, it costs $1 per image. https://www.canva.com/

I have a Wordpress site that uses the Genesis framework and a customized Studiopress theme. I like Studiopress because its easy to setup and use. They are also responsive (mobile friendly). If you know a little CSS, you can customize it very easily. If you know Wordpress to an intermediate...

Welcome to my hell as well. I'm starting to think that I must have done something really awful in a past life...because I CANNOT seem to get a client. It is weird. I'll have a few interested parties that then get cold feet and are uninterested. I feel basically invisible even though I know I do...

This is sort of related...sort of unrelated. I have another website (not VA) where I have an eLearning portfolio. The problem with is that almost all of my stuff, I had to sign a non-disclosure agreement so I'm stuck. So what I did for a few pieces was re-create the thing but totally sanitized...

Thanks for the compliment. that deal you linked to sounds great for all you Aussies out there. :)

I just found this resource online and wanted to include it here for anyone struggling to find a domain name and business name. Don't forget to use the "prefix helper" towards the bottom to add some additional ideas for your biz name. http://www.bustaname.com/

No problemo....you can have as many pages as you like. And the pages can each have their own YouTube channel if needed. So you can hook that up as well. I find sometimes that its actually easier to create the new YouTube channel under the business name/page...which automagically creates the...

Sign into Google. Go to your Google+ Page. THen go to the left side and click on the PROFILE link/button and select PAGES under that menu. Create the page under your business name. All set. :)

Re: What is on your wish list? Yep....they do both. Mine doesn't have an incline. But the speed can get up to a slow jog. But I usually have it really really slow. After a few minutes, you don't even realize you're on it. I can't do any graphic design work while on it as i need a steady hand...

Re: What is on your wish list? Cool! I have one of those two. I was able to get one of those desks that you can raise or lower. So I can sit, stand or walk at my desk by turning a crank. :)

So who is your ideal client? Is it artists? What do you want to help them with...what are your services? I know this may change later, but I doubt you're going to offer both bookkeeping services AND help with editing someone's manuscript AND web design support AND making travel arrangements...

I've used my name ([email protected]), [email protected], [email protected] Of the one's I've used, I like just using my first name. Its personable and to the point and helps convey the fact that I am a one-person operation and approachable.

In terms of your business and / or home office, what is on your wish list? This can be a course, a certificate, a piece of software or hardware. Me? The biggest thing right now is a new Wacam drawing tablet. I've had mine for at least 10 years...if not 15. It has stuck by my side with driver...
