Just underway, this little site is barely anything.
It is, though, more than nothing.
So far, I have:
- reserved a domain name
- set up hosting
- installed WordPress
- installed Divi
- made a super basic home page
- made a Regular Coffee page
- made a blog page
- published a few posts
- enabled comments and received two
- plugged in Google Analytics
- signed up for Substack
- made a page for newsletter signup
- added a Substack button to the newsletter page
- added the plugin Yoast SEO
- figured out how to have Yoast push text/image metadata to Slack, Messages, search results, etc.
- confirmed the site is automatically getting backed up by the site host.
That’s it.
I’ll keep at it, and hopefully I can recruit other Regulars to start their own things.
Old adages apply:
- Anything worth doing is worth doing badly.
- If you aren’t embarrassed on launch day, you waited too long.
- Get off this. Get on with it. If you wanna change the world. Shut your mouth and start this minute.
