Help: WP Site Locking up. Any insights or experience?
Hoping someone might have some insight or experience with WP sites locking up. Over the last 3 weeks, we've had visitors tell us on the phone that our site locks up after one or two pages. While we haven't been able to replicate it, we get 2 to 3 calls a day with people informing us of the same problem. Ave page views per visit in Google Analytics was rahter steady for the last quarter and has dropped 15% over each of the last 3 weeks,…See More

One steward used her entire $10 to buy chocolate to drizzle over homemade caramel corn which she sold to family and friends. At the end of the year she returned over $800. A decade latter this $10 has grown into a thriving business called Taste of Heaven (www.drizzle.org) that supports… Continue

Joel Boggess said… - Hi Tom -- Welcome to the 48 Days community. We're glad you joined.
This is the idea and social networking site for people that want to create their own opportunity.
I see you taken the Strengths Finder. That's an awesome tool. I use it with all of my clients. Has it been useful for you?
Depending on what your interests are, there is a wide selection of discussion groups to get involved with.
One group that is worth looking into is 180 Service Station.
Good stuff going on in there.
Another group you'll want to stop by is the 4 points coaching compass. That's my group. One of my friends is leading the discussion this week, the power of belief, and we would love to get your insights.
