Older posts will start to re-appear this week and will be dated according to the original post date.

Each post will be reviewed for spelling and grammar. The posts will be updated to reflect current day when necessary.

This will take some time to complete, but I’m excited to get started on the project, and am looking forward to building another great blog.

Several Hours Earlier…
The salesperson made a great pitch when he claimed this Windows 3.1 PC was Internet ready. He was mostly correct, but left out the modem(the part needed to connect computer and phone). Thankfully, a friend came to the rescue when he diagnosed my issue. He had an extra modem he let me borrow.

Do you remember the nineties drink coasters that were delivered through US Mail? I took one off the table and signed on to America Online… The drink coaster went back to work as soon as the software loaded into the computer.

In around an hour later, the menu option, “Build a Website” shows on my screen. At that moment, I see opportunity and get working on building my first website. The idea created the opportunity to network limousine companies from all over the world, and do more corporate business.

Twenty-four hours later, I finally logged out and went to bed. I had been working on my website the entire time. I was exhausted. The original website was in hosted space on AOL. The URL was http://www.aol.com/~limolink/index.htm. In less than a year, I registered http://limolink.com and moved the site.

Take a step back to prom night, ten years earlier. My friends and I rented a stretch limousine. The car was supposed to be waiting outside, right after we finished dinner at a wonderful restaurant overlooking the river. We were disappointed when the car was not waiting for us.

We called the limousine company looking for answers. The person on the phone informed me that our driver was held up, but that he would be their shortly. Not long after, he rounded the corner as we watched the limousine glide towards us.

The driver exited the car right after coming to a stop. He apologized for the tardiness and made an offer to keep us out for extra time. He did that and more. He is a top notch driver.

My WordPress site broke yesterday after I incorrectly modified the function.php file. Fortunately, I knew where the problem was and my site was live in less then a minute. Most people aren’t that lucky.

Today, I found this tutorial on how to add your own site specific plug-in. It is a simple way to add code snippets to the function.php file without worrying about breaking your WordPress setup.

WordPress is able to turn off your site specific plugin if incomplete or incorrect code is entered. Your code will give an error message letting you know something is incorrect, but all other functions continue to work.

I can think of multiple reasons:

1. You’ll always be focused on learning something new.
2. Even if you don’t use what you learn, you’ll be able to get value when others read your article.
3. Sharing your knowledge helps other people to learn faster.
4. Readers have a thirst for knowledge and most will be hooked if they are able to successfully use what you teach.
5. People who are sharing what they are learning, as they learn it, are actually teaching cutting edge material.

There you have it… Five reasons why you should write about stuff you don’t know.

My reasons extend past the five listed above and will become apparent over time.

Expect to read quite a bit about WordPress, StudioPress Themes, SEO, Writing code and Marketing Strategies for Start-Ups.

I have another objective in future blog posts…

The objective is to get to the point. I mean I want to start with my point, and then reinforce that point throughout the content of my post.

Hopefully you’ve thought about this post and you’re able to benefit from my new strategy.
