Augies Place | Just Thoughts

It’s been a while since I was here…well,  actually I’ve always been here, just not here (IYKWIM).

I was using Google Chrome for a browser but ran into a problem when I tried to allow certain cookies to be set.  Seems you have to choose ‘all’ or ‘none’.  Left some feedback when I uninstalled so maybe it will get fixed.  I have decided to go back to Safari based on this recommendation from Kris Mainieri at PCSecret Formula.  You can get a copy of his report from Free Report Central (right click and save).

I’ve been busy with my other site Free Report Central It will soon be ready for a launch.  I’m thinking about making it a membership site for a very cheap price but I gotta think on this some.  Not sure if people would pay to access free stuff.
Of course I belong to a lot of email lists and that is how I came by all the reports.  These reports cover all sorts of topics because I like to read about all sorts of subjects.  Hypnosis, meditation, Internet Marketing, Law of Attraction, PC safety and online security.  There’s a report for everyone.

I’ve also been doing some tweaking to Easy Guided Meditations I’m really not a very good blogger though because I don’t have much to say on a daily basis.  I read a lot and dream big.

So I’ve been following the videos mentioned in an earlier post but I’ve run into a problem!

I wanted to put some widgets in my sidebar but when I choose one of the widgets to include it seems to remove the others like the search. Guess I have to enable all the widgets I wish to see there. I have been using the ‘trial and error’ technique but then I found out that each time I post the page it is pinged to my list. Wonder how to turn this off so I can play around without seeming to be spamming. After all there is really no need of the pinging if I’m just changing things around. Guess it’s probably time to join in a forum and ask some questions.

So, it’s January and my job in the retail sector is going through it’s downtime and shifts are getting cut. This has nothing to do with the ‘economic problems’ or ‘depression’ but is just a fact of retail life that comes around every year. This is not so bad though as I can devote some time to this blog and others that I have.

If you’re reading this then please come back and see what I will be offering as I become more proficient with uploading and linking to useful informative articles, usable tools and some scripts that I will be adding to my site. Oh yeah, and I’ll be adding some more of my creative writing and reading links.

I began this blog using the WordPressUncovered (click for free download no optin req’d) video tutorials.  The tuts are easy to follow, or were easy to follow, until I upgraded WP and found that the linking structure and some of the text on the admin panel have changed.  Now I need to look a little harder to find what I need.  Perhaps this is not a problem to those who are familiar with WP but it seems that another newer tutorial may be required for those who are new to WP.

There are so many themes that I have made changes multiple times because once I started configuring it I found that I no longer liked the choice Ihad made.  And while I’m doing this my mind is whirling with thoughts of blogs on all kinds of things, on different sites.

So what’s the purpose of this blog.  Well #1 it’s to learn how to use WP.  So far I have learned about installing WP, configuring WP, changing the theme, editing the sidebar and posting a first page, (which you are reading).

Where am I going with this blog?  I’m really not sure at the moment, perhaps I will just journal thoughts about various things.  Perhaps I will rant a little or share some of my creative writing.  I will though strive to keep it in the NOW and simply verbalize my thoughts about life, beliefs, and learning.
