Frustration Abounds

This thirty day challenge is kicking my ****. I said yesterday WPDirect would be the host, but I misunderstood. I obsessed half the morning over paying for hosting and a domain name. Finally I realized I don't obsess over buying beads for a piece of jewelry that I have no guarantee will sell, so why am I worried about this??? Fear of the unknown. Gotta let the fear go and just fake it til I make it.

So I registered for domain and hosting. Then I went back to the research, collected 3 pages of information, started writing my article and realized these people didn't know any more about the subject than I did. I wrote my own article, checked it for key words and tried to log in and upload it to WPDirect. Got an error message. My domain didn't exist!

I went back over the video again and again thinking I'd entered the information wrong. I went back to the hosting site and everything looked like it should be working. Finally about 4:30 I got an email from the hosting site that I needed to call to verify my account information???? What? I've never heard of having to verify information for hosting by phone. I called, was told that there was a glitch in their system and they needed personal verification. My first payment was refunded and I had to go to the site and pay the second invoice. By then I think I was half bald, so I gave up on the challenge, which is becoming more and more challenging every day, and decided I'm only one day behind now. I can make it up. Now I'm goin' to bed!
