I Am Alive Challenge Day 109

Bob Caine here. This is my 109th day in the #iamalivechallenge. I am alive and doing very well. I hope you are doing very well as well. Nothing exciting going on so lets dive right in.

Guinea Pig Challenge – More Planning

So far we have done some preliminary planning on my first goal, Get 10 Prosperity Management System students, and my third goal, create a 100 email series in my autoresponder. Today, let’s look at what I consider the toughest goal, get my website, FunnelsPay.com, internet worth. I say it is the toughest for 2 reasons, One, I have to think about what I want the website to look like and how I want it to perform. And, two, programming it to do what accomplish one.

I want FunnelsPay to not be the stock, wordpress blog. Don’t get me wrong, there are some very attractive blogs out there on the internet but I want FunnelsPay to be a website with a blog, not a blog trying to be a website. This will take some programming and that is the challenge. I have been taking a WordPress Theme developers course which has shown me what can be done. But doing it, is another manner. It takes HTML, CSS, PHP and Javascript to work on a WordPress theme. Combining those uses every combination of ‘”`[{()}]=><‘; characters. It can get confusing putting PHP in HTML and combining them with Javascript. I will get it. it will just take me a while.

So what do I want on Funnelspay.com? Let’s start breaking it down.

  • Define the pages for the site. So far, I know I want
    • Front page – static
    • Blog – easy it is WordPress
    • Resources – different resources I have found and use that could help others
    • Library – collection of ebooks to share but limit to one a day maybe password protect
    • Reviews – programs I use or have tried
    • Goals
    • About
  • Different graphics on different pages
  • Signup form probably to get password for ebooks
  • Custom pages for Library, Resources maybe, Goals, Reviews
  • Udemy classes
    • WordPress Theme developer
    • CSS
    • Javascript
    • PHP
  • WordPress Functions
  • Security
  • Gravitar next to logout
  • Daily content – #iamalivechallenge and #lukeisalive and more
  • Tie blog posts into autoresponder emails
  • Different sidebars/ page

That is all I can think of for now. Several of those need to be broken down to small tasks. I mentioned yesterday I think I will create a page for each goal where I can keep my tasks, milestones and progress. I can very easily create pages for now and then transfer the information once I finish a goals page. Plus, creating those pages will help me know what I want on the Goals page eventually . Sounds like a the start of a plan.

Kitchen Remodel

My contractor gave up trying to get a building permit today. So, I went and applied. It will be interesting how many hoops they make me jump through and how long it takes to get the permit. Stay tuned. One of the new windows need to be replaced. The grid pattern in the picture window doesn’t line up with the side windows and it looks weird from the outside. The picture window is going to be replaced. It should be here in a couple of weeks. Progress? Maybe.

Even More Verbose

For a long time I have been amazed by all the pieces parts involved with web development. I talked about it in yesterdays post. Another thought I have had about web development for a long time is it is very verbose. Today I learned that it is even more verbose than I thought. According to the Udemy course, I am currently working my way through, up until approximately 2009, websites were developed for viewing on PCs and then modified for viewing on a cell phone. We probably all have experienced sites on our phones that look terrible. If you look at the same site on a pc, it probably looks fine. After 2009, websites were viewed more and more on cell phones. The majority of viewing is done on cell phones today. So now the best way to develop a responsive website is to start with cell phone version and

Managing the Pieces Parts

I have said for years that internet development has too many “pieces parts”. I had no idea how many pieces parts there were. What lead me to this revelation was comments in the UDemy course I am taking on WordPress Theme design. I am almost done with the course. I was in the section where you learn how to upload the website, Fictional U, that I have been working on to the internet. The course teaches 2 methods. The instructor says that the first method is the easy way but is not good for frequent updates. The second method takes a while to set up but then becomes very straight forward. He recommends that you only use the second method if you think you are going to make frequent changes AND you know GITHUB. Since this isn’t a GITHUB course, the lesson using this method won’t make sense if you

Plugins to the Rescue

Guinea Pig Challenge Today I spent the majority of my time on 2 things. The first is related to my goals peripherally and the second is directly related I hope. I will explain the ‘I hope’ part shortly. So now it is much later than usual getting my IAAC done. I spent most of the morning working on making my office usable. I spent much more time than I meant to, especially since this is on peripherally related to my goals. It will be a better place to work. I am almost there. I just have to get the desk cleaned off. Right now it is covered with unmatched chargers and parts of 2 wireless phone sets. It definitely shows my pack rat side. This afternoon I started investigating WordPress plugins for what I thought might have to be programmed. I found plugins for like/dislike counts, custom post types, and
