Come on McLaren you’re letting the British boys down :(  Faster please; if we have to endure another season of Red Bull dominance we could lose the will to watch!! Better pit stops too would help too

HP World

I suggest Harry Potter World is far more valuable than the Olympics, it’s a worldwide brand and will attract tourism for decades. We have the technology in the UK I’m certain, for a cutting egde themed attraction – not a half-hearted few video screens in an old warehouse, but something that will totally immerse a visitor and of which the UK can be proud. Maybe Sir Richard could organise it?

Olympics – Obvious!

A conversation yesterday brought up a strongly held belief that rather than the 9 billion (UK tax payers money – a documentary suggested this figure) spent on the Olympics we should have a state of the art Harry Potter World in London. Let’s face it, we all know the Olympics will benefit large organisations and certain influential individuals anyway – I honestly don’t know why they try and hide the fact. When we all know that your average person / subject in the UK will not benefit from the Olympics; you only have to ask any Brit who have tried to get tickets or find paid work on the main site.

Amazon eBooks

I emailed Amazon because I think they are missing out on a huge “pre-read” eBook market. All they need to do is create a platform / market place where Kindle books can be resold and add a transfer fee or change of ownership fee for each transaction – easy :)

More of the same…..

Yes I can do it keep going….

 

Ok here goes…

Being the modest type its difficult to ramble on about myself and catalogue my progress still no I have John as a mentor that’s kind of forced my hand and probably what I needed to give me the imputus.

Well I thought I’d work my way through the training as closely as possible with just minor changes for my own circumstances. Well it was a bit of a game to say the least, I already owned a domain and have hosting but not using Cpanel, which I can’t say I’m the biggest fan of, but it does seem to be a standard for a lot of hosting. So bite the bullet, I thought I’d just configure this domain as an add-on domain to the existing, but to be honest I found it all a bit rubbish to manage what with the WordPress install and so forth. So I had to transfer management of the existing domain to my primary host changing the nameserver info, backup anything I wanted later, delete the sub / add-on domain, transfer this new domain to the cPanel host and install a fresh copy of WordPress. Like a domain juggler in an Internet circus….

Well at least I can tick off week 1:

1. yes this domain – informal, friendly, approachable

2. well I already had two types of host so juggled those (see above)

3. mike@miketribe.com  check

4. check

5. Clickbank account, free basic one – check

6. Filezilla – had it for ages – check

7. Install WordPress via cPanel, hmmmm, yes ok then, a single primary domain – check

9. begin posting – it’s difficult but I’m trying………..
