Special thanks to Mahtab Ali

I want to say thanks to Wordpress expert Mahtab Ali, who has helped me SO much this past couple of weeks to get my site up and going. I’d made some coding errors and couldn’t fix them and he stepped right in and fixed them all, plus some. So, if you have a Wordpress site [...]

OK, yeah I’ve been MIA!

Hey everyone I’m back for real this time. It’s been a crazy couple of weeks, I’ve been busy building 4 websites on Wordpress, this one of course, my copywriting site LonelyIslandCopywriting.com, AllOverJamaica.com ( a site about things to see and places to go in Jamaica), and my personal one, Tremaya.com. I’m not sure if I’m [...]

Change is oh so hard!

Change is oh so hard!

Well peeps, I did it. I made the big switch to Wordpress and what an endeavor it’s been! Transferring my files was oh so easy but as far as the hosting, templates, and FTP stuff….a total nightmare. I’m sure in a few months I’ll be a pro but for now I feel like I’m going [...]

A New Year, A New Phone

For the last 6 months or so, I’ve been dealing with a phone that is so sub-standard I was actually slightly embarrassed to use it in public. OK, not really but it is laughable and has been then the butt of oh so many family jokes (check out the pic). I actually had to put [...]

Ziggy Loves Ackee

First thing every morning Ziggy wanted to pick “apples”, she initially kept calling them “apples” because she couldn’t pronounce ackee but she eventually mastered the name and the art of picking them off the ground once I picked them from the tree. Even before she got her hair combed, changed her clothes or even ate [...]

Catching Up Is Hard To Do!

Man, I can’t seem to get it together yet, you really do need a vacation to recuperate from your initial vacation! I’ve spent the entire morning reading 2 weeks worth of blogs and websites and I’m tired and I still have all my Jamaican sites to do. From the sounds of things I didn’t miss [...]

Peace out…deuce is what my 2 year old says as she holds up the peace sign when anyone leaves (her Dad is responsible), so I’m borrowing her term to let you all know that Elvis aka [...]

Hey everybody, it’s been a not-so great day. My day started with a thump when Ziggy fell out my bed this morning (she was fine)! My mom told me Kanye West’s mother died (how I missed that on Sunday I’m not sure…probably was watching the Cowboy’s spankin’ the Giant’s butt), I paid bills, spent $200 [...]
