Moving 200 of anything can be exhausting. But moving 200 blog posts proved to be more work than any of us could have predicted. You add in title renaming, metadata updates, alt-texting, exporting media, building a website from scratch, creating new logos, and a bundle of other things, and you got yourself a painful project. How do I get through painful anything? H-E-L-P.
I’m reminded of the quote, We get better together. Gone are the days of going it alone! This beast of a site migration was able to happen because of the hard work of the women behind the scenes at Confessions. The fabulously artistic Kelly C, who inspired my journey to new logos, my gentle, wise, and crafty web designer Trish, my master of all-things-web and search engine optimizer Kim, my talented cheerleader/photographer buddy Kelly T, and my incredibly supportive and always remarkably patient editor Forreste.
I am so blessed to be surrounded by women who remind me that if I want to either heal or grow, I need others. Feeling very grateful this week for all the encouragement and love I received from both these women and my network of family and friends. Thank you for all the cheerleading and support—I needed it.
What now? I’m filled with a bunch of Yahoo and Yikes to announce our next challenge…AUDIO RECORDING ALL 190+ BLOGS!
Welcome to my blog turned podcast! Here you can listen or read about what’s on my mind as I try my best to recover from screaming at my kids and nagging the bejesus out my husband.
Join TeamConfessions, a.k.a. "TeamC"—the posts are super short—you’ve got this.
