HezALL MY SITE'S #WORDPRESS UPDATES ARE COMPLETE. It is functioning within normal parameters. There is joy in olde Vancouver town. So grateful for that friendly toot from @sterndata that rescued my workday from the rubbish heap. Bonus: the #WordPressDeveloper friend who was trying to help me via FB has also taken notes about that borked Astra Starter Templates plugin with gratitude and will be avoiding it like the plague in future. #WorkJournal #N00bWebmasterSolutions

@Htbaa My Mac is 2 weeks old and I last updated Chrome yesterday. No custom CSS in play and I'm using the most basic of themes. Disabled as many plugins as possible. So irksome for a fledgling like me. I guess I just work on it until I'm cursing so much I need a break (or it's cocktail time). That's how real developers do it, right? 😉 #N00bWebmasterProblems #N00bWebmasterSolutions

Proud to say I have just managed to build the lion’s share of a Mailchimp survey using my 2 iPhones… one open to the pre-written content my notes app, which I transcribed to the other one. It was white-knuckle most of the time, as my long-unused external keyboard reminded me it was barely charged by being extra-sluggish, but the dang survey is now 90% complete, saved to drafts, and my afternoon wasn’t completely wasted. Whew. #N00bWebmasterProblems #N00bWebmasterSolutions #WorkJournal
Undaunted by my dying laptop, I am now using 2 old iPhones and an external keyboard to get a simulacrum of a multi-screen desktop. It ain’t pretty, but it lets me keep working until I can go upgrade in a day or two. #N00bWebmasterProblems #N00bWebmasterSolutions #WorkJournal
#SyntaxError is such a dry description of a thing that can both curdle the blood and drive one into a frenzied hunt for answers. I'm like a bull in a china shop up here in my functions.php file. Nothing's live so I can honestly just #LeeroyJenkins the damn thing if I want. #N00bWebmasterProblems #N00bWebmasterSolutions #WorkJournal
Productive day in the internet salt mines! Started grinding #SEO levels for my static pages, and maybe it's my #ADHD, but there's just something so satisfying about the #Yoast #WordPress plugin and its 🚥 system, which lets me have measurable victories in my dashboard by telling me exactly what to fix, and then making green lights appear on SEO-friendly posts. I'm like a dog with a bone for this kind of easy reward. #N00bWebmasterSolutions #WorkJournal
