Testing New WordPress Themes

“Change is the law of life and those who look only to the past or present are certain to miss the future.” ~John F. Kennedy
My website got hacked again over the weekend – not once but twice – and you know what? I’m grateful. At first I was upset and angry at the hacker that had targeted me. Now I am actually grateful to the little online cockroach that attacked me – I was forced to learn and change – it has already been great!
What I Learned from Being Hacked
- I was forced to learn more about website security – this will certainly be critical in the future.
- I was forced to update my WordPress code – a great thing to update.
- I was forced to review and then select a new online security and anti-virus program – this was something I had always meant to do.
- I was forced to review and then select from a number of newer and more robust WordPress Themes – this is what I am doing now and I love all of the new options.
So, being hacked was actually a great learning experience for me, and all this learning happened in just the last few days. So thank you little online cockroach! In your desire to hurt me and feel in some pitiful way significant, you actually helped!
Testing WordPress Themes
I am taking this opportunity to completely revamp my website. I am going to make it more comprehensive, more viewer friendly, of course more secure, and I intend – more visually interesting. Come back often and see the changes.
Till next time faithful reader…Jack

“Suddenly, it seems as though all the world’s a-twitter.” ~ Newsweek
Okay, I’ll admit it. I was skeptical and I should have started sooner. I am by nature a early adopter of new technology, but in the case of Twitter, I just did not see how I could fit one more thing into my schedule. And for Twitter, I needed to fit a bunch of little things into my daily schedule and what was it going to do for me? It turns out that it could do a great deal. Within less than 3 days of joining Twitter and making just a few entries, I got hired for a speaking gig directly as a result of Twitter. Wow! Double Wow!
So, now I am a believer and if you are not already using Twitter, and your business has some internet component, then it is time for you to become a believer as well. I’m not going to go into the nuts and bolts of how to use Twitter – I’m just learning myself and I know there are many much more qualified people out there writing great information. Just go look for them. I will give you just a few links:
You can sign up for your own free Twitter account here.
You can follow me here as I learn about Twitter and grow my coaching and writing business.
You can follow Biz Stone, one of the cofounders of Twitter here.
That’s it for this blog entry. I have tons of great writing to get done this week. Very exciting!
Till next time…Jack
