I know what you mean by trying to push too hard sometimes. I've been there and done that! I also know how valuable good technical support can be. I'm very pleased with my hosting service. Now I'm trying to keep learning without the external pressure. It seems to be working...so far, at least. Traveler,
Thanks for sharing your story. I know what you mean by trying to push too hard sometimes. I’ve been there and done that! I also know how valuable good technical support can be. I’m very pleased with my hosting service.

Now I’m trying to keep learning without the external pressure. It seems to be working…so far, at least.

Yesterday I made a change in my site settings that should have fixed a problem I had been having. It was the right change but unfortunately I was making the change during a break at work and so I was in a hurry. I mistyped my sites URL and that made a huge problem. Then it wouldn't let me back in to change the mistake, it kept directing me to the site I had typed, which didn't exist. Long story a little shorter, it took my site down and I was at work, where I really should have been working but I didn't want to leave the site down for the couple of hours it would have taken until I got home. So, I owe work some extra time and I learned a ton about .php code. I also learned that I have an excellent host company with unbelievably helpful employees. What I'm trying to say is that I hit an obstacle and spent a lot of time trying to plow my way through it when in the end, I was able to ask for help and someone else provided the information I needed to solve the problem. I just needed to take a step back and quit ramming into the wall. I learned that having a little patience and asking someone else for help isn't such a bad thing. Thank you for an excellent post, with perfect timing. I enjoy your blog a lot. Sometimes we find exactly what we need to find, exactly when we need to find it.
