A Week In The Workshop 202



Hi Everyone; back and hit the ground running, so there's just a bit of chatter about the few days away, and a bit of housekeeping too.


I need to get back to painting, so I’ll catch you in the midweek


Best, Peter


Just FYI


For mobile users the Wix Spaces app is available here -



And you can find the site easily using invite code PPSQ98

I struggled with WIX initially using a browser but having switched to spaces it’s been a lot better. So in balance WIX is the lesser of a bunch of evils.

Though Peter I’m surprised how much more fond of Wordpress you are than me. I would most certainly have disemboweled myself and gouged my eyes out before setting myself on fire. My wife is the secretary of a Gardening club with a Wordpress based website and I dread the “can you just sort this out?” calls.

seems like your sticking with WIX and to be honest i don't see why not it work's for the vast majority of your supporters?

Thanks Joe. For most folks it seems to work adequately/acceptably, and as I said in the vid. we're working on an overhaul which will make some improvements. If the membership continues to grow at a steady pace then of course that gives us more options for looking at 'enterprise' solutions, but we're a long way off that as yet. 👍

Sorry for my post in the forum to dominate the discussion in the weekly video everyone - it certainly wasn’t intended to come across too strongly as I still do love it here 💯


P.S will post some more diagnostics in the forum thread this week and try different PCs and internet connections to see if that narrows it down

Nothing at all to apologise for James! Really appreciated the comment in the forum - unless you give up us the feedback we won’t know what/if the issues are, and you flagged up a couple of errors on my part; I’d posted the intro video in 4K which is unnecessary, and hadn’t realised it was set to auto play as I rarely see the home page. These have been sorted now, and wouldn’t have been without your comment.


Thanks! Pete

I know Wordpress gets a bad name but the cloud hosted/ fully managed versions are a lot less hassle; basically it just becomes a content management task and all the security work and patching becomes an S .E.P.


Wix for me is fine though

I prefer the acronym POOP in these situations. Problems of other people.
