I decided the new skill I’d learn during Covid lockdown would be web design, and I couldn’t have chosen a better teacher and program than the Website Creation Workshop. Christina Hills is a teacher’s teacher ( I say that as a teacher!) She has tremendous facility teaching technical skills and breaking them down in a simple, non-overwhelming process that is actually fun, especially to a non-technical audience. She is logical as well as creative in the perfect balanced combination. She understands creative multi-faceted people who are working with more than one niche, yet provides structure and sound advice at the same time. I have taken almost all of her different programs at this point, and each one has delivered far beyond my expectations.
Above all, Christina instills confidence and independence in her students so that a non-technical solo entrepreneur can manage their own online presence independently without stress, multiple contractors or overwhelm. This newfound freedom, confidence and independence to be able to update my websites anytime I want on my own timeline is absolutely priceless. I’ve even noticed benefits outside the class, in that I am more eager to tackle complex technical things a lot more lately because of my overall increased technical skills.
Last but not least, Christina’s support team is absolutely amazing. They are the nicest group of ladies who went above and beyond on so many occasions to help me go live on schedule. You guys are the best. I highly recommend the Website Creation Workshop to anyone who wants to gain full mastery and independence over their websites and online presence. Thanks Christina, and thank you to the wonderful Website Creation Workshop team!
Thanks, Christina. Even though this was a strategy I knew about, I didn’t know about the right-click trick for opening in a new tab without having to enter the URL manually.
I’m fortunate to have a large computer screen on my desktop, so I prefer to use the new window and have them side-by side. If I had a smaller screen, I would totally agree with your suggestion to use a new tab instead.
Elizabeth,
Yes I do use the side by side thing as well. It comes in handy when comparing
but I sure do like my tabs
🙂
Thanks again for sharing simple yet dynamic way to blog faster with less effort Keep up the awesome work.
Rosie,
yes all these little productivity tips sure do add up!
Thanks, Christina, Nice video and explanation. I’ve also used tabbed browsing, but it’s always good to check for new tips. For some of us with Macs, we may not have a “right click” option that you mention. So I find the quickest way to make a new tab is the little “+” sign on the tab in the top right hand corner, just next to the tabs already open. This brings me to a “Top Sites” page, which of course, is where the WCW pages are saved. Voilá! The “Command-T” also works just as quickly, as well as the pull-down option for “New Tab” under the File menu at the top, which requires a couple clicks instead of only one. I often get too many tabs open, it’s just so easy! Thanks again and see you in class!
Dave,
you are so right about the “Command-T”! I should have mentioned that in my video.
I, too, have a Mac. An on the newer Mac mice, even though it does not look like it, if you press on the right side, you get a right click. Ask at the Apple store.
See you in Class!
Hi Christina.
Loved your video on the tabbing technique. Simple but very effective! Thanks for sharing.

Lynn,
It’s the little things that add up to make us more productive!
🙂
Thank you Christina, for sharing the information about tabbed browsing. It will definitely make it easier to update my blog.
Suzanne,
yes, it sure does speed things up
I have a blog set up using the 2010 theme, however, when I go to it, it shows a post I made back in 2010. When I go into the admin area, it shows newer posts with more recent dates, but they don’t show on the front page, what is wrong. Thanks!
Sylvia,
These are the kinds of things I help people troubleshoot in my Website Creation Workshop program.

Our nonprofit needs a new site and I am convinced that WordPress is the way to go. I receive your emails and have found them to be so helpful. I wish I had signed up for the class! I was waiting for a volunteer for the site creation, but now believe I can do it myself – but much more efficiently and effectively with your assistance. Thank you for sharing your insights.
