iThemes Builder

Prior to the webinar, I was beginning to learn to use iThemes – Builder. I did not have the time to get back to it until today.

First problem, it is Sunday, I am at home, the computer I was using is at the store. I had been going over a tutorial on internet security where they recommended you use something other than “admin” to log into a Word Press site. So on the new Small Business Guides site – I set it up with something different, this setup happens when you set up a new Word Press site and the login user name is something that cannot be changed.

Problem was I could not remember what I had put in for a user name, that information is at the store, rather than go to the store today to get my new site login information I decided to put up another new Word Press site – someplace where I can just play around with things, see what works and what it looks like and so on. It is actually a lot faster to put up a new site, add a theme, so the basic site set up and so on than it is to drive a few miles to get the login and pass word information. The new site is RonaldHeadley.com/sandbox and you are welcome to come over there and see what type of stuff I am learning, playing around with or experimenting with.

Right after I put up the new site I got an email from my host with the new sites log in information. And then I remembered that I would have gotten a similar email when I set up the Small Business Guides site – so I now have the login information for there too.

I will be trying things on the sandbox site and then doing the same thing on the real site.

Something to know is when you start doing lots of different things on line you really need to have something that remembers logins and passwords for your sites – I use Robo Form – which is synched to my office computers, and one laptop – that means if I change login info or get new login information or a new password it comes up on my other computers. Why did it not work for the Small Business Guide site I am not certain – it does now. Robo Form is a really great way to keep track of logins, passwords and other things that can be set up to be shared on several computers. Change it here and it updates there.
