The Wicked Webmaster

By

After getting blown out of Kansas by a tornado of web technology, Dorothy wakes up in a strange land in today’s episode of “The WordPress of Oz”.

Watch now as Glinda the Good Witch of the North helps Dorothy discover the power of the WordPress Ruby Slippers and keeps the Wicked Webmaster of the West from taking over Dorothy’s website!

Oh and I am curious, have you ever had your website locked up by a wicked webmaster?

Tell me about it in the comments below…

  4. Linda says:

    Christina:

    You knocked it out of the park again! You are amazing! I really enjoyed this video. This video is awesome. Cannot wait to share it. Here is an idea…package a “How to” video. I am sure your students would love to know how to do this. Look forward to returning as an alumni again! Your teachings are incredible!

    Warmly,
    Cheryl Lynn

  6. You make a hot red-head!

    Isn’t it great having the tools you need to get your creativity out in video form?

    I’m so glad your my mentor! I can’t wait for my friends to take your course.

    I’m gonna go check my affliate links to see if this video is in there yet…can’t wait to share it.

    I just can’t seem to get my webmaster to move ahead with the launch of my site! I’ve provided all the content, written a blog, submitted my paypal information. So I think I’m going to have to learn to do it myself., That prospect is daunting, so I’ve signed up for your teleconference.

      Hi Layne,

      I had hit some sticking points myself with a webmaster. Suddenly I realized he was in control of my event release schedule as necessary updates on my website were made at his whim instead of the agreed upon times when I needed them. That left me feeling very frustrated and helpless. I also had to make business decisions made based on his claims of: “Oh, that will be VERY expensive.” With all the mystery and exaggerations it felt a lot like a game of “Keep Away”. I was not amused!

      I made up my mind then and there to learn the necessary skills to be in control of my websites no matter what it might take.

      After taking Christina’s Website Creation Workshop these words came to me:

      “Learn WordPress and take the keys to your future into your own hands.”

      Here’s to business owner empowerment!

  8. Corinne Simon-Duneau says:

    Incredibly funny, playful and creative! Thank you. It’s inspiring. I took your free webinar but I do intend to take some of your courses and to finally learn how to build my own website.

  9. Stephanie Gracia says:

    That was so cute- loved it. :)

  10. Deborah says:

    Yes, you are right the task COULD be daunting except this excellent gifted lady will explain and teach you so that it is not!! Trust Christina you will not be lead astray.

  11. Beebar says:

    hilarious!!! I would say “go crazy, girls” but I think you already have. Just love it.

  12. KatrinaMarie says:

    Too Funny…How you make all the stories fit to wordpress.

    I agree…your next course is how to create your own videos…it will be a Hit….applause.

    What is your daughters name….does she read all the comments…tell her she is doing outstanding.

    KatrinaMarie

    • Christina Hills says:

      Katrina,

      My daughter now wants to build her OWN email list so she can send out the videos on her site! LOL!

      We have fun thinking up ideas for WordPress videos

      See you again in the next workshop

  13. Bravo that was great! You tought my wife Katrina to create my website. I now get 1,000 of hits per week and lots of compliments. Before she met you I would ask EVIL web masters to create me a site, they would say a site like that costs 5 to 10k??? Also they would dissapear and I couldn’t get a hold of them, it SUCKED! I’m so glad she met you. Now she is my Glenda and together we rule our Oz and 1 other thing I want to know how you made that video :) that was really good.

    • Christina Hills says:

      Capt,

      Yes, I hear that story all the time about webmasters holding you up and charging through the nose..

      I’m glad you have your own “Glenda”

      ;)

  14. Hello ‘My Pretty’

    WOW!

    SUPERB!

    Not only is the acting great, the info is wonderful. I’m newbie to your work and MUST say, I’m going to become an ‘oldie’ real quick.

    Question: I started 4 WordPress blogs a year ago then life got in the way; he has now moved out and I want to get back to my blogs.

    PROBLEM… I no forgot my passwords…duh! So I ask WP and they keep sending a password change to my OLD DEAD email address and 2 months later I still cannot get into my WordPress blogs.

    I’m now over at shhh..blogspot.com shhhh. Shall I rip my tongue out for saying the B.S. word? lol

    HAD to do something to get started!!

    I sure hope you can cover a problem like that in one of your videos.

    OR

    Is it possible to get some help personally from you?

    I can’t even get my WordPress Gravatar to show up…boo hoo.

    Keep up the SUPERB WORK.

    When my OFFICIAL blog gets going I’m going to make you an honorary S.E. (if that’s ok with you, smile)

    Love *n Lightning

    Dear Christina,

    Hilarious video; great work.

    I am not at the mercy of my webmaster because he designed my site to be edited in Adobe Contribute.

    Mary

    • Christina Hills says:

      Mary,
      I am familiar with Contribute and glad that you are happy with it. I just think that WordPress is a more powerful platform.

  17. Hi Christina,

    Coming from the acting world I found the videos in the “side bar” both creative and entertaining! I’m looking forward to checking out you course on building WP sites. It seems as though you make simple for non-techie people like myself.
