Happy Mother’s Day! While my husband and daughter are off in the kitchen making me Eggs Benedict (my fav) this morning, I thought I’d post this animation I created years ago. With WordPress you can embed video animation into your posts and pages. And you don’t have to create your own videos, you can use videos you find on the video sharing sites! Just Click on the Play Button Below to Play the Animation:
Enjoy your Mother’s Day! 🙂

I have attempted to learn WordPress many times with online tutorials, and continued to hit “roadblocks” where I couldn’t figure out how to move forward.
With the Website Creation Workshop, I was able to understand how WordPress works so much more clearly and was able to ask critical questions when needed. I am glad to have taken a chance on this course and am so happy to have completed this website – one that I hope will be the first of many more!
Christina and her team have finessed the tricky balance between challenge and encouragement through an on-line platform allowing for even the most technically-challenged entrepreneur to be successful with developing their own website. I have gained skills and confidence in designing my own site – and now maintaining it — all while having fun! I’m so glad I found you when I did.
After following Christina Hills online for a while I found her instruction to be very thorough, and honest in approach, so I decided to give the Website Creation Workshop a try. It happened at a time when I was struggling with another web designer, again, a grand total of four designers over a period of 15 years!!! I couldn’t be happier to not have to make those angry, frustrated calls anymore. Seriously!
Aside from things typically taking way too long, if they were even done, creative differences tended to be a problem for me as well. “What do you mean you don’t want to do that?” I find myself repeating over and over for things like “Why is the site not mobile responsive?”….. Never again!
Super empowering to not be subjugated to the will of another. With my vision, and the skills I’ve learned, I can build what I want, and change/modify it when I see fit, or necessary. Super big thank you to Christina and the WCW team for helping me get here!
The Website Creation Workshop has been extraordinarily helpful and made it fun to build a website – and in a shorter time than expected. Building a website used to be something I dreaded, but knew that I had to take care of as a new online entrepreneur. I feel proud of what I have accomplished, and empowered to maintain and improve the site on an ongoing basis. Thank you so much Christina and team!
One of the things I love about you and your company Christina, is that you run it from an abundant loving place, like you’re caring for your fellow human. Along with all your brilliant teaching skills, you make it easy to want to stay connected to you, Christina, because you have built in the space for people to be human and change their mind or go through hard things and you support us in that.
I have found you and your staff to be some of the best in the industry to work with when issues come up. I appreciate this about you and it’s what will keep me coming back!
Christina provides a wealth of information in a clear, concise, practical and fun manner. I tried to do my own WordPress website and ended up frustrated and with unsatisfactory results. After attending a free webinar about the Website Creation Workshop, I knew immediately that she was an excellent teacher, presenter and a person of heart.
I am so thrilled with my new website and my ability to control and grow my content over time. I ran into some challenges along the way, but Christina and her team were there every step of the way. That is a sign of a great teacher! Thank you Christina and I look forward to continuing the journey with you in other workshops.
If it weren’t for the Website Creation Workshop, I might still not have a website up and running! Christina goes through things step by step so that you not only know what buttons to click, but why.
The knowledge will continue to be helpful so that even if I have someone else manage updates on my website, I can easily go in and make quick changes myself and will understand what I’m asking someone else to do. This was a great way to get myself going!
Christina Hills’ Website Creation Workshop course is The Best online course I’ve ever taken! Here’s why: It’s way more than information-packed (which it is). It took me, step-by-step, to create my own website in a way that was thorough, and easy to understand, and supportive, and encouraging, and easy to follow … AND FUN!
Yes, there’s a learning curve, but after the first few modules, I was having FUN being creative, building my very own website exactly how I wanted it. I’m thrilled with the result, and I’m excited to show off my new site to a new and wider audience!
Christina’s Website Creation Workshop was FANTASTIC! As a graphic designer, I know how to make things look pretty! But I learned so much more about building an interesting and effective website.
Christina teaches at a pace that is slow and powerful, so all of the details have time to soak in. I highly recommend, and do to all of my entrepreneur friends, Christina’s training. It is EMPOWERING! Thanks!
“I am not a technically savvy person. And I just completed a gorgeous website that I’m really pleased with! Christina’s WCW is extremely well organized and detailed. Even I could follow it with ease! I feel empowered, because the world of websites is no longer a big mystery. What a wonderfully surprising silver lining.”
Christina’s methodical and detailed approach to teaching WordPress is amazing! I had been afraid of WordPress before joining the WCW!! But Christina and her team make it all feel manageable, one step at a time.
I love my new site and I feel very proud of myself for pushing through my anxiety to learn so many new skills. There is no way I could have done it (or would have had the nerve to try) without Christina Hills and the WCW. Thank you so much!!
WOW! I can’t believe I created my own website! When I began this journey I was not sure I could really do it. After years of having paid others to create and maintain a website, I thought I might be getting in over my head. Thank God I found Christina and her team!
They have a fantastic program that allows you to move at your own pace and ask questions along the way. Everything is beautifully put together and well thought out. I think this is the only way I could’ve accomplished this. I did the work knowing someone was there to patiently guide and support me when I needed it. Thanks to Christina and her team for a putting together this beautiful program.
I am very grateful for Christina and her team to develop such a wonderful and useful course!
The workshop is so well-organized that a non-technical person like me can learn and master at my own pace. It teaches almost anything you can think of while building a website. I also had chances to ask my own questions and get answers on live calls. I feel so empowered that I can put up my own beautiful websites, and produce content that I want to share with the world.
I love the precious “real estate” on the Internet that belongs to me, instead of building on the rented land such as social media. I used to work with web developers on websites, it’s very time consuming with numerous back-and-forth emails and calls on any design idea or change, let alone the cost, time delay, and headache associated with it.
I would recommend the Website Creation Workshop to anyone who wants to gain the freedom of building their own online presence. I did it in four months with about an hour a day. It is an incredibly freeing experience to learn from Christina. Thank you!
Christina Hills is a natural teacher! The Website Creation Workshop is a superb, comprehensive program to learn and implement technologies that are typically out of reach to non-techies. As a tool for every size business to establish an online brand, I’m confident that an investment in this program is worth the time and every penny spent working with Christina and her team. The support and guidance are invaluable!
I never thought I would be this happy with a website! I was stuck between paying AT LEAST $5000 for someone else to create a good website vs. creating a website myself that I wouldn’t really like. I didn’t want to pay that much, but I knew that I didn’t have the expertise to create even a bad website.
But with Christina’s Website Creation Workshop, I produced something that I am proud of and that is constantly getting me compliments! The step-by-step process is very straightforward and easy. Christina has “game-a-fied” the creation process so you see yourself making progress as you go. Not only do I love my site, but I’ve been able to even help some other people because of the training I’ve received!
I want to deeply thank you Christina Hills and Team for the outstanding quality of the program and the kind and helpful assistance I received all along my Website Creation Workshop journey. I will keep being and attached member of Christina Hills Community and I’m honored to be one of her students.
Christina,
You are a genius and a virtual mother to many:
I love the video! Thanks tons for sharing on this special day: Mother’s Day!
Enjoy your special day with Maggie and hubby!! Sit back and relax–check yourself out of the kitchen today!
Carol
Carol,
Thanks!
Yes, I had forgotten that I had made this video, and just found it today by chance. I miss the old animation days, and want to get back into it!
🙂
Don’t you just love it when an old treasure pops up? As I am not one to believe in pure coincidence 😉 I wonder what the message is? Perhaps you could (in your spare time) teach a basic animation skills class! Now that would be a lot of fun!
Lauren,
I think the message is for me to get back into doing more artwork/animation again!
And yes, when I do I will consider teaching a basic animation class!
🙂
You can bet I want to be a part of that class.
Just down loaded the free audio & handout on “Your Web Design”…GREAT STUFF.
Thanks for ALL your help Christina.
You are one of the most invaluable resources on the internet…
Michael,
So glad you liked it! Tell your friends to come and opt in too
…also, i have just setup my Gravatar picture!!!
This is my first comment ever with my picture, thanks to you…Am i getting too EXCITED over a picture? ha ha
Michael,
I ALWAYS get excited over pictures
Nice to ‘see’ you in your Gravatar picture
😉
Thank you, Christina, for continually showing us ways to think creatively!
Kit,
It’s my students like you who keep me motivated and passionate about doing all of this
🙂
Christina, nice animation. Love using video on sites especially ones that tell a story. Wanted to pass along a neat video creation site that can help add entertaining content to your wordpress site. Animoto.com is a great way to take your Flip movies or still photos to the next level. Hope this helps someone out…Take a look at http://animoto.com. Great stuff of your site and refer folks to you often.
All the best,
Stefan
Stefan,
Yes I know about animoto.com! It’s great and easy for anyone to use.
First of all, thank you for sending out the Mothers’ Day wish to your list! I really enjoyed the animation as well!
And I have to concur that you are indeed such a valuable Internet resource. You’ve likely been told this, but you have a gift in terms of educating people what you know. It’s as if you can anticipate the questions or fuzzy areas ahead of time, so you have it well laid out beforehand. (Believe me, I don’t see that alot when it comes to any sort of educator!)
And thanks to one of your teleseminars from a few weeks ago, I will now be building my next site with wordpress (once I find a VA who is exceptionally good with wordpress!)…I really appreciate all the information you give those of us not well-versed (and often, not interested in having to become well-versed!) in terms of technical aspects of the Net.
Happy Mother’s Day to you! (I got my fave breakfast in bed too! Wasn’t it nice?! Lol).
Ann-Michele.
Ann,
thanks for your comments about my teaching style. That means a lot to me 🙂
Fun! I hope you had a Happy Mother’s Day. And your message, that we can adapt this to our own WP sites is noted:)
Ellen,
My mother’s day was fab! thanks
Hi Christina,
Happy Mother’s Day to you! If you haven’t done it already you might want to post one of your delightful “Alice” videos on your public blog, Facebook etc. as a “Mother-daughter moment” to share with everyone.
Cheers and it’s great to be back in the WCW again on the
lifetime pass we get as your alumni.
Columbia
PS Thanks for all the fun and humorous moments you bring to us as we get your valuable content.
Columbia,
I have posted a page with all the “Alice in WordPress Land” videos here:
https://websitecreationworkshop.com/fun-videos/alice-in-wordpress-land/
Hi Christina:
Thanks so much for sharing. That was a great animation. I would also join the class for teaching of how to do this. This is so cool.
Happy Mothers Day!
Cheryl
Cheryl,
Yes, teaching an animation class would be a lot of fun, and a natural for me because of my special effects background.
You’ll be the first to know when I develop that course!
I’ve got so many courses I want to teach, but not enough time in the day to develop them all
LOL!
Hi Christina,
I love your Mother’s Day animation. It is so cheerful and uplifting. Hope your Mother’s day was wonderful.
Regards,
Harriet
Harriet,
nice to see you here again!
yes, a belated Happy Mother’s Day to you too!
Hi Christina,
I’m a long time student still trying to figure out how to get a simple blog up! Just want you to know that I enjoy your videos (love Alice in Wonderland too) and appreciate the opportunity to retake your Website Creation Workshop again … and again in my case!
I bet you’re a great Mom!!
Michele,
That is exactly why I have the alumni bonus. So that my students can come back and retake the course at no extra charge!
Plus, each time I teach this course it gets better!
Christina,
You always offer blessings to us Alumni. Thanks for continuing to “allow” us in the “class” as refresher and new knowledge as it evolves. I mentioned before, just like the Apple experience that I love,– pay the price (even if more), BUT over delivered to the max in VALUE! I’m never exhausted to say “thanks” to you!
Hi Michele,
Let us know your blog challenges and can post that in ALUM discussion or put that in the webinar for “all” of us to benefit. Both places would be sweet to post: webinar (where Christina or Debra may answer before next webinar too sometimes) and in ALUM discussion group. I believe in “ask and it shall be given.” All questions are great and welcome to “learn” from and grow!
Christina – like Carol says, the value of your course far exceeds the cost. It is a never-ending gift.
Carol – thanks for the encouragement. Much appreciated. I think I’ll check out the Alum Group as a first step to getting my momentum going once again.
Michele and Carol,
I love it when Alumni from my Website Creation Workshop 8 module course come over here to the public blog to make comments about the value you have gotten from being a student in my course.
It means a lot to me!
🙂
HI Christina,
I’m in the habit of speaking truth only and did so as reflected. I sometimes need to hear sometime another time, but here I am biting off what I can chew always finding “new” meat to “eat”. What a blessing to have the opportunity to return with open arms!
Thanks.
carol
Wow! I hope I can learn animation too! I would really like to learn that instead of making videos, why not make animations! Do I need classes for that or can I teach myself with online sources?
