I seem to be hitting a new problem every few days.  I spend a day figuring out how to use a website or new tool, then they turn around and revamp the whole thing.  Now Twitter Karma is broken, because Twitter has blocked it.  It is so hard to see your followers and who you are following on the Twitter interface!  So I used another website to unfollow people, and what should have taken me five minutes ended up a two-hour affair.

I have to rethink my strategy on how I will spend my time.  My website may have to take a back seat until I get my Twitter following where I want it, and I’ll just promote Genesis Rocket in the meantime.

My magic touch is at work again today. I upgraded Wordpress and now I can’t change the pretty picture up on the top of my blog. I have future plans for that picture spot but they aren’t really ready to go, yet. Oh well, Ayumi is beautiful to look at, eh?

Genesis Rocket:  Hits 1028 Unique 239

This morning, my husband was taking the mail out and heard a chainsaw, a yell, and a crash.  Turns out that the people who bought the house I wanted are cutting down lots of trees!  Anyway, one landed directly on the little greenhouse, smashing it to bits.   They are systematically destroying the yard and the landscaping that was so beautiful.  I hope I can make enough money soon to buy us a nice house.

I finally figured out a good flow for Follow Friday, and had a blast.  I actually had people asking ME for advice on Twitter!

It is amazing how noisy it gets during a normally quiet naptime when you try and record a podcast.

Ugh.  Tried to install service pack 2 and my computer blue screened in the middle of it.  Even the system restore didn’t recover it fully.  Vista is bad enough on its own, but this computer of mine was the biggest $1200 mistake I’ve made in a long time.  We have five Dell systems and they have been wonderful.  So I get the new smaller version of the Dell XPS Laptop, the Dell Studio XPS 13.  STAY FAR AWAY.  Nothing works, and it is put together so badly that it ruins its own hardware.  I actually spend 20 hours with Dell Customer Service and 20 TRANSFERS before someone finally said that he wasn’t the right person to help but he would, anyway.  He replaced the computer and said that they wouldn’t cover the new one under warranty.  At least this one hasn’t melted itself yet, and I have no choice but to make it work until I get my Twitter Rocket to take off!

Wow.  This Genesis Rocket thing was much easier.  If only Technorati hadn’t decided to dump a day’s worth of work; I lost all of my carefully researched blogs.

I have been busy with getting the new website and blog set up for two weeks, now.  Traffic seems to be picking up gradually.  I’ve gotten a better handle on the Twitter stuff, finally, so it didn’t take quite as long for me to grow followers this week.

That was with a learning curve so huge, that I’m grateful to Genesis Rocket for making things clear and simple for me.  It will be much easier from now on.
