Spent another Annual Conference at the tech desk, serving with the Methodist church and part of the Board of Communications. Conference this year was back in Roanoke, VA which was fun. The hours were long and stressful. I had extra duties this year on top of everything I already do. Here are a few snap shots from the weekend.
When you can’t hire a photographer, it is good to have friends/associates with Photoshopping skills. This photo was taking not by yours truly, but by someone else and with a tablet not designed for great quality photos. They really wanted it in their website, so I took a few minutes and did a little Photoshop magic. It still isn’t the best, but the content of the image was really important, so we made it work. If I had spent more time on, I probably could have saved the grassy background and toned down the blue-green in what I’m guessing should be a white plate. I personally like that lack of background because it makes the food pop that much more. There is also nothing wrong with purchasing stock photography that represents your work/product!

A huge thank you to www.robsbbqcatering.com for continuing to hire me as his photographer for capturing his products for his website (plus building and managing his site as well)!! Stock photos won’t do his food justice! Only the real deal will do!!
The last time I revamped this website, I decided I needed to also update my blog platform. I went from the simple, easy and adored, Tumblr to WordPress. I still LOVE Tumblr, but I needed something more substantial and WordPress is just that. I kept up with both for awhile. It was a bit of effort I admit, but I wasn’t ready to let go of Tumblr. It was my first blog! I was attached.
With the new year, all business owners reevaluate things. What can we streamline? What do we need to improve? What is holding us back?
This year, I decided to streamline things and let go of my Tumblr account. As much as I hated ending my business relationship with Tumblr, it needed to be done. I gave it a good effort!! I got NO business from it and that’s ok. Time to move on.
Staying true to my belief that Social Media should not be abandoned, I decided it was time to close that account. I deleted it and all it’s posts. I’m ok with that. I had already transferred all the posts over here to this blog.
I still think Tumblr is great and I will continue to recommend it to clients who aren’t very tech savvy; where WordPress may be overwhelming. I will also continue to use it for my hobbies.
If it’s not working for you, then move on. Be honest. You can’t try something for just a few weeks. Don’t just abandon it. Close it down, completely. DELETE it. Then make sure you disconnect all your connections to it; buttons, links etc.
A little humor for the holiday season!!
