It’s been a couple of years since I updated this blog. Why you ask? Well I could say that I was busy blogging on two other websites of companies I’m involved with, which isn’t a lie, but a sentence closer to the true reason for my absence was that I had technical issues with this blog, and couldn’t get it to work for a long time! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am not a techie, though as an entrepreneur and small business owner, I needed to learn a lot of computing skills, especially early on while on a shoestring budget. However I was thrown for a loop when a couple of years ago I tried to update this WordPress blog to a new, better PHP, and I must have chosen the wrong one in a list of several, and suddenly, I couldn’t create new posts! What was worse, the old posts wouldn’t appear either. I just had one page with a few posts visible, and their hyperlinks to the full articles were not functioning. Good grief! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I couldn’t figure out how to solve it (i.e. how to ‘unplug and reboot’, which solves at least 50% of ALL tech issues!) and for whatever reason I didn’t hire\/bug someone else to look into it. My intuition was that after a couple normal updates, it would sort itself out. And it did. TWO YEARS LATER. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The lesson is clear – don’t wait so long to fix a blog issue and don’t expect it to sort itself out without help. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the meantime I upgraded my business website 3V Communications<\/a>, and implemented a new logo too. It’s different from the one you can see in the upper right corner of this website, right? (Because I don’t know how to switch them out!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am still Canada’s first Communication Coach, and I love having this website active. I still get a lot of traffic from this site, and now that the many blog posts are again active, I hope Google will once again crawl through them and others can find useful content dealing with all things interpersonal and professional communication skills. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now I have to start adding more content – starting with this new blog post. I hope you have enjoyed reading, and I know many of you can relate to the tribulations of being Tech Support for a small biz, when you don’t have a tech support background. It’s all part of the learning and growing experience, and truth be told, I love it. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
