This week as been a time of reflection and planning. Notice I did not say creating resolutions. I believe resolutions don’t work. Planning does.
My business coach, Linda Lopeke, gave me some great ‘planning’ advice. Start by making a list of your victories. Yes – victories. Why not start on a positive note? Decide to do more of that in the coming year.
Did you get your blog up and running in 2009? Did you NOT get your blog up and running in 2009? Either way, put your WordPress site at the forefront of your plans for 2010. Remember, your site/blog is the heart of your virtual marketing empire and if you pay attention to it, you will reap great rewards in the coming year.
The WordPress Workshop is a perfect way to accomplish that plan. It starts in a few weeks and the people on the early notification list will get the first chance to register starting on Monday, January 4. You can get on the early list for the next few days by visiting The WordPress Workshop.
We will learn so much more than how to ‘do’ a blog – we will learn how to leverage the power of WordPress through social media AND how to use your WordPress site as your complete content management system – including a blog portion or not. It’s your choice.
The WorkShop size is strictly limited due to the hands on nature of it – everyone gets his/her own ‘practice’ WordPress site – away from the prying eyes of the search engines. This WorkShop is the true definition of interactive. After each WorkShop session you will have a challenge to complete before the next module. You will learn by doing and there is no better way to learn than by doing it yourself.
So – go on over to The WordPress Workshop and find out all the details about what we will be doing and learning and then register for the early notification list. Remember, early notification ends on Monday when the people who are registered for early notification will get the first chance to register for the WorkShop. It will open to the general public on Wednesday, January 6 if there are still open slots. MANY people have already expressed an interest in this WorkShop so I don’t guarantee that it will even be available to others.
Start the New Year with a plan and a WordPress site. You will reap the rewards!
Cathy Perkins – The WordPress Wizard









I took this blogging course and I have to tell you it is fantastic and worth every penny. My blog has only been live for one month and it is doing really well already, getting traffic and comments etc. I learned how to do so many things that were a huge mystery to me prior to taking the word press workshop with Cathy. Because Cathy records all the classes, I was able to go back and watch the videos and follow them step by step while I was doing something on my test blog. It was wonderful to know that if I messed it up, Cathy would help me fix it.It took the stress and fear out of trying new things.
In the end, I kept the test blog and Cathy transferred it to my hosting company. I haven’t even tried all the things we learned in the class yet, but I intend to add video and audio soon. The cool thing is that I still have access to the videos on those classes when I am ready to implement those things.
I am really grateful to Cathy for creating this course and I would encourage anyone who is thinking about creating a fantastic blog, without all the stress of trying to figure it all out by yourself, to look into the wordpress workshop.

Cathy, you’ve been such a HUGE help to me in 2009 and I continue to learn from you year after year. What I’m doing to create greater success in 2010 is blog 3 times per week and use social marketing even more to build a large, active network. Happy New Year!
