I love gnomes, have 2 cats, a husband and a son. Occasionally I go for a run...

I build websites for small business owners through @norlink

USB cables are mysterious.

#1 wouldn't show my Kobo files
#2 wouldn't transfer the book to the Kobo, but saw the device
#3 worked and I have my library book now

Why?!?

[Leanne Mitton @LeanneMitton]

@mrdanielklein So I've heard! You both seem to shop at the same time

[Leanne Mitton @LeanneMitton]

Hi Twitter family. I've missed you. How have you been?

[Leanne Mitton @LeanneMitton]

@ReneMorozowich I need to do this otherwise I'll keep forgetting to make an appointment and somehow it's a 6 months later and I still haven't done it

[Leanne Mitton @LeanneMitton]

@_jimmyrose Nah. Staying with for now

[Leanne Mitton @LeanneMitton]

Sad news. Sue Johanson was a legend. I remember wachint her show as a teen. Loved her frankness and no bs attitude

@heyadamsilver Hawkins Cheezies are my fav, but honestly I sent you all goodies!

@Fox_VAs @allcopymel you don't have to cut it! I had mine lightened to help it blend better as my natural colour was growing. My hair was below my shoulder blades and still is.

[Leanne Mitton @LeanneMitton]

@allcopymel I embraced my grey about 3 years ago. The top is pretty much all grey and the underside is still my natural dark.

I absolutely love it. I'm 42 and I've had some grey hair since my mid-teens

@bluehost Notepad and a whole lot of tables, animated gifs, and very busy backgrounds. Oh the web in the 90s...

What's a word that makes you cringe when you see it?

For me, it's 'relentless'. I worked on a project years ago where it was overused on a site and I haven't been able to look at that word the same way again.

[Leanne Mitton @LeanneMitton]

@PatrickBoehner @WordPress Agreed. I try not to use them because of this.

[Leanne Mitton @LeanneMitton]

I'm also overwhelming myself trying to do 'all the things' right out of the gate on this new offer.

I'm an overthinker....

[Leanne Mitton @LeanneMitton]

I'm trying to create a new package for my business and last night I realized that I'm trying to build it too big. I need to launch it and then grow it as I get clients through.

I need to remember my own advice: done is better than perfect.

@amylaurajones They should be buying giant bags of mini eggs, that was my gift this year and I love it

[Canada Revenue Agency @CanRevAgency]

Happy Valentine's Day! ❤️

[Leanne Mitton @LeanneMitton]

@ketoverlock I do too! A lovely 15' red kayak that looks fantastic on my little yellow hatchback.

[Leanne Mitton @LeanneMitton]

@mrdanielklein It's mostly sloppy and lazy. Clean things up before launching a site

[Leanne Mitton @LeanneMitton]

One of my biggest pet peeves is other web agencies that leave all the dummy data and unused plugins active on a site when they launch.

A site I worked on today had dummy pages with no content, WooCommerce pages (and no WooCommerce), and 11 filler blog posts from a plugin.

Gah!

[Leanne Mitton @LeanneMitton]

@mrdanielklein They don't realize it's on the public facing site, which is the problem. It's not physically linked, but still shows in sitemaps to be indexed.
