I Am Learning How To Blog with WordPress and Jetpack Apps😳

No Comments

This post is somewhat of a training and review post about the WordPress and JetPack apps.

So, there was a storm brewing outside (while I’m praying that it goes away), and while waiting for it to pass over, I thought I’d just try different tools to create content. 

My desire is to travel–soon.  And, travel a lot.  I am curious about which tools I can use to keep content going.  As they say, if you stay ready, you won’t have to get ready.

This post was done using my bluetooth keyboard and my Samsung tablet using the WordPress Android app.  So far, it hasn’t skipped a beat.  Although, my fingers keep reaching for the finger pad and mouse, lol, but other than that, we rolling.

…Switch up. I actually just switched from the “WordPress” app to the “JetPack” app– mid article. Apparently, Jetpack is taking over the responsibilities that the WordPress app was doing and so, Jetpack it is. It was actually a smooth transition too. I basically downloaded the Jetpack app; it noticed that I had WordPress and asked / informed me that it located my sites and was going to transfer over my settings; then recommended that I delete the WordPress app. Smooth. It was a fabulous handoff. Shoutout to WordPress.

Many of you may already be using apps to do work, because many apps are very robust; however, for those of you who are not–this may be an excellent time to start training. It will free you up.

For this post, I used:

  • my Samsung tablet
  • a mini bluetooth keyboard
  • the JetPack / WordPress app(s)
  • and the internet

Concerns:

  • You may have to save often. I had written a large portion of this article before realizing that it wasn’t saving on line. When I did saive, it took a while.
  • For some reason, it get’s glitchy. So it’s not totally a replacement of the laptop, but it could save you in a pinch.
  • It’s pissing me off at this point, so I’m ending the article. LOL!… see ya’ll the next time.

.

…Switch back. Note: I probably could have written this on my phone as well, but I was testing the laptop mimic with the keyboard and tablet. It passed….but…. it’s not getting an “A”–at all.

 

And also …after further review, I decided to just log in from the browser. The lag is worse, but I have full access to the site. So I guess if you are in a hurry, this is not the way.

 

 

I Was Told to Do Better and Expound Upon My Tweets, So Here We Are…

“Do Better”, they said. 🤨 The other day, I asked someone to read content I had written or tweeted to see if it relayed the idea and voice I intended. Immediately I knew I had to do better and expound upon my tweets and write more often.  For anyone sharing their thoughts with others for critical input, you might experience the same nervous cringe I experienced as Read More

Changing My Workflow

Time to change the workflow.  I’m fifty-four, with twenty cumulative years of military service for retirement, but need to do some type of work to make money…until I actually get there. I’ve tried several change of career moves, but find it sometimes difficult to “get along” and “play well” will others because they are whiney, pretentious and snitch on everybody just to move up in ranks of their rat race.  That shit stresses me out.  So now, I’m thinking about what else I can do… Answer:  Blog, write and talk.  So here we are.

This is not my first post, by any means.  But, this is the first post that I’m just letting it flow.  Sort of a release to make way for the words and thoughts that will come next; in upcoming posts.

Seems like I’ve tried that before too.  But in every instance, I found myself being concerned about what others would think or say. Today, I’m feeling liberated.  Maybe I’m finding my “voice”.  In any case, I’m looking forward to this reboot.

Getting back to the main story, I’m offering my services as a writer, blogger and promoter to tell others about you and your business or organization.  Calling all businesses📣 , calling all organizations!!!  … if you need help with your social media, contact me so that we can discuss your needs and how I can help!   Email: danielspeller.info@gmail.com  or drop me a message.

Site Updates for March 15, 2018.  It’s a new year …(wooo-hooo)… and we are well into it… just thought I’d write a quick update post to let everyone who’s following us know that I’m slowly moving in the direction of moving more of my overall efforts here to the website. So, yes.  I’m going full circle and giving it another try to put Facebook posts, Twitter and all other platform posts here.  All other peripherals will primarily be used as tentacles to bring views back to visit me here ?

Also, this year, Read More
