It’s interesting to see how things in the digital landscape has changed after a decade of absence (meaning not playing with website development in that length of time). It all feels new to me and also to John and Leanna. Obviously for them as this is all new.
We went through the process of looking at templates on WP and choosing a few that we liked. Then, we tried to work with the chosen template in beta to figure out what it was going to look like once we published. We had a lot of giggles and could not figure out how to remove the one word that was stuck in the middle of our top banner photo (HOME). After three days of searching for a way to remove it collectively, we decided to search for a new template and settled on this one. How does it look? Seriously, please let us know…kindly.
We then did the easy-button push-launch thing, added the SSL thingie and voila! We’re live. More giggles ensued and their imaginations ran on. As did the questions. What do we do next? How do we add pictures? How do we add videos? It’s incredible to witness their enthusiasm and their curiosity at the same time trying to help them organize their thoughts so we can create a plan instead of a willy-nilly approach (which does sometimes work).
Once we do figure out how to add photos, I hope our readers will enjoy coming back to see them. We take a lot of photos during our explorations. I think it’ll be good way for John and Leanna to recount what they learn and reflect on it too. Who knows, maybe we’ll willy-nilly an episode or two going forward.
