Happily, WordPress is the blogging system my website designer recommended! I am so new to blogging, and have so much to learn on the technical side, that I have a big learning curve on WordPress, too! I do have to say, though, that I have learned (on my own)how to publish simple posts. I really like WordPress. I also see the wisdom in having a blog coach. I am a Life Coach...so I get the concept! Earlier this week, I attempted to do a trackback and create a link within a post. I got stuck, got an error code that meant nothing to me...had no idea what to do. So, I emailed Shonnie! She was right back to me, via email, suggesting I give her a call. I did that and she stepped me through the process while we spoke! I was able to follow her instructions, ask questions, take quick notes, and successfully create a link and do a trackback! This was huge learning and progress for me! Thank you, Shonnie!

So often I see people "trying to figure things out" rather than taking action and then course correcting if needed. Keep up that kind of behavior and you'll reach your goals faster than you think! Bravo! :-D Margot, you mention two other critical pieces of the success formula — (1) taking action (in this case doing your best to use a trackback) and (2) asking for support (in this case, emailing me).
