Tuesday Twist-Doing the grunt work

Written on 11:38 AM by B

I'm working on getting the new objourney.com site done by the end of the week. We used bluehost for hosting and then used their one-click service to download wordpress.org files. Gen-Y colleagues informed us that Wordpress is the best way to go if we are serious about our blog. Wordpress looks more professional, is more comment friendly, and is more customizable. It is also harder to configure and get up and running. My friend from millennialMarketer.com gave me advice on how to make the site. He also showed me how to use Powerpoint and Istock photo to make a logo! He also told me to go to Woothemes to secure a customizable theme template. It took me awhile to get it all together but if you go to objourney.com you can see the progress. The programming lingo is completely foreign , and I consider it a necessary evil(No offense to programmers, I envy you!)

While working on the blog aspect of things, I have also been doing research on our business subject matter and have made great strides in picking website components. I even created a storyboard of what I wanted from different sites and used print screen to copy and past print screens accordingly. I then uploaded the powerpoint file to googledocs and shared it with collaborators. GoogleDocs makes everything so much easier and it will continue to get better. It automatically saves everything as you write, which is a lot better than Word freezing on you without saving the work! Microsoft should be scared!

One of the best things I have done to manage school, work, two businesses, church, and living is to create a schedule for myself three days at a time. This way, I don't get caught up in the emotions of the day and what I don't feel like doing. One of my youth pastors always said, you have to go through the process to get to the promise. The grunt work is the process.....our concept is the promise. Watch out.

What kind of process are you going through right now?
