Goodbyes

Stumbled across this on Pinterest:

The most painful goodbyes are the ones that are never said and never explained.

Boom. That is all.

Hey there!

Welcome to my little space where I ramble some, share some, and maybe even rant a bit. I'm just a girl (50+ but I still think of myself as a girl) who tries to see joy and humor in life, but sometimes stumbles and gets stuck in the muck. Life is what we make it and I want mine to be happy. Read More…

Wait a minute...what does all this even mean? Let's break it down:

Domain - it's the address for your online home. I prefer Godaddy.

Hosting - it's the land you lease where you're building your home. I recommend Flywheel.

WordPress - the architect or contractor who builds your home.

Customizations - that is where I come in. I design a site to suit your unique needs and style.

Oh my! - not to worry I'm here to help you every step of the way. I will help you go from concept to launched in 30 days.

I'm planning this week's launches and realized I somehow missed sharing this redesign for @funinfirst a few months ago. Swipe to see the before of the first site we worked on together about 5 years ago when we moved her blog from Blogger to WordPress.

The new redesign we updated to Kadence and started the process of moving her products to WooCommerce. It's update of both design and function.

If you are ready to update your webspace I recommend a move to Kadence. I have one opening in February for a custom project or get scheduled now for March.

Head over to bellanowebstudio.com and check out my portfolio and services. If you have questions feel free to leave in the comments or send me a DM.

Are you thinking about starting a new blog in 2022

Are you thinking about starting a new blog in 2022?

I *still* have plans to start a blog with my hubby…last year did not go as planned 🙄 (anyone else?). If you have any questions about getting started comment or DM me.

1. Chose a name. Sometimes this is the hardest step. Keep it simple but clever. It should give a a little hint about what your blog will be about.

2. Run over to Godaddy. Once you have chosen your name register a domain as soon as possible. Note: sometimes domain availability will affect your name choices. Grab it when you decide. I like to use Godaddy.com. See if your domain is available and if it is purchase it ASAP. You may need to tweak your chosen name a bit with a - or an extra word or even use something other than .com. Godaddy will make suggestions.

3. Plan Categories. You already have ideas on what you want to share, start putting those on paper and building possible buckets of content. Keep them simple.

4. Consider hosting options. Begin looking into hosting for your new blog. I recommend Flywheel, they are hands down the best!

The new blog I am planning will be my first blog not tied to a service I offer. Our goal is to monetize this blog with affiliate links and ads. Down the road we may sell project plans or ebooks once the blog is successful.

Resist the urge to go big right off the bat if this is your first blog. Sometimes I see people start with too much and have too many moving parts. Start simple, share what you know. And grow from there.

Save this post for when you’re ready to start.

I can’t say I love EVERYthing about my job, and if I’m being honest...

...there are some days I wish that all the hard work, late nights, and sacrifices that come with being my own boss would disappear! Where's that "Easy" button?

My three favorite things I love about a Web Designer are:

**my clients
**being creative
**always learning new things

What are your three favorite things about what you do?

Want to start a blog or a website? Here are a few first steps.

1. Do you have a name?
Keep is simple and memorable. Brainstorm ideas and ask a few people for feedback. See next step

2. Register the domain
Is tightly connected to first step. You want to check out what domains are available before you commit completely to your new name. The domain should be simple to say and remember. Look at what it looks like all typed out with no spaces or dashes. Does it inadvertently spell a bad word?

3. Register your new name on the social platforms of your choice.
Grab those names as soon as you decide on a name even if you are not ready to start being social yet.

4. Start a Pinterest board for sites you admire.
This is very helpful when working with a designer/developer or making a plan to DIY.

What questions do you have about getting started with a new site or blog? Leave them in the comments. Did I forget any first steps that you would recommend?

Happy Friday!

uh-oh, you caught me daydreaming!!

I've been working away all day today and I had to log into Google Photos to grab some images from a client and I got distracted with pictures from our vacation to the Central California coast in 2020.

It was the best trip (nudged out my solo trip to Italy solo in 2013) EVER and I'm saving my pennies to go back soon. Fingers crossed we can go back this year.

You guys, I love the ocean and ruggedness of the coast there so much and looking at these photos literally brings tears to my eyes. The only other place on earth that stirs my heart and makes the tears well up in my eyes is Italy.

Is there a place that stirs up all your emotions or that you cannot wait to return to? Tell me about it.

If I could move anywhere in the US it would be here. But the whole family would have to move with us.

Keep dreaming friends.

It's all about mindset ... do you agree?

This seems to be a recurring theme in conversations lately. The balance between repeating a negative thought or speaking the "truth" and dwelling in possibility and reframing current circumstances in a hopeful and positive view takes diligence. Some are born with the positivity gene and the rest of us have to work at it. :) I try to stay positive, hopeful, and optimistic, but I have to work at it. Not in a "head in the sand" kind of way, but in an always striving to find a way to think better thoughts. To be grateful and remember that I can do anything, as long as I remember I can do anything.

I believe in you. Go ahead and believe in yourself, I dare you.

Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.
