It’s Live! Creativity Challenge Day 5

Saturday, June 5th, 2010 at 10:23 pm

So I’m probably more excited than I should be. Golf GPS Systems is live, finally!

It’s my first attempt at an IPK site and it too me way longer than it should have to get done. I probably shouldn’t be surprised, because it always takes me longer to do things that I think it should. There’s a lot of self-sabotage goin’ on here, and that’s one of the reasons I’m recording my progress over this month — to force myself to actually finish things and show proof that they’re finished.

Anyways, back to the golf gps site. The good news is I turned off the maintenance mode at about 4 p.m. this afternoon, and when I just checked a few minutes ago, the googlebot had already been to visit.

The bad news is that when I searched for my keywords, they didn’t come up within the first 50 yet. I’ll be checking again tomorrow and may have to do some tweaking to the pages to make sure I’ve got everything that the course suggests.

Looking ahead, I’ve got another couple of sites ready to start and I’m confident that they’ll go a lot quicker. I love doing them in wordpress, but I may try one with the static site outline just to see if that makes a difference. And if it does, I just may get really creative and make myself a wordpress theme that looks similar to the static pages.

On the plate for tomorrow as well is to get my report on creativity finished, and to get a new issue of The Acorn Stash out. But for now, I’m callin’ it quits tonight.

Hope you’re having a great weekend!
