Weddings, Windows, Cloning and Website changes

Wedding ‘Order of Service’ Cards

First job on the card today is some really pretty Wedding ‘Order of Service’ Cards. The Client did a great job designing it in Canva, so it was straightforward to complete quickly and efficiently, as always.

Windows 11 Upgrade Problems

Then it was time to delve into it, sickly Acer 💻 that’s refusing to boot up. This turned out to be an incompatibility with the Windows 11 upgrade. One nice, clean Windows 10 later, and it’s back with the client.

Cloning of a Client’s PC onto a Larger SSD

Next up, it’s time to clone a client’s pc onto a larger SSD. After some initial grumpiness from the original Windows installation, everything went reasonably smoothly, Phew!

Strip Down & Rebuild of a WordPress site

Last job, for this productive day, time to strip down & rebuild a WordPress site. They have been having problems with the plug-ins used to build the original site, so I advised a fresh start by removing pretty much all of the software and setting it up from scratch.

Kettle on…..

Website Glitches, MS “Teams” & Boxing

Friday morning & we are off to a flying start on some repairs to a client’s website.
It’s an E-Commerce Website that has not been sending emails correctly for a couple of day’s, which can be a pain!
After some input from Microsoft Office 365 Team (which wasn’t really helpful), checking all the plug-in’s, nothing seemed out of place. However, it has now just started working again ?!?!
And now there’s an update available for the Website Mail Plug-in…..
Look’s like they have found an error and sorted it on the quiet.

Next up is a client who’s having issues with Microsoft Teams & Zoom meetings.
He’s also had a bit of malware playing with his drivers for the microphone on his laptop, making things worse.
After a quick clean-up of the malware & installing the proper “Teams” & “Zoom” app’s, instead of using his browser, thing’s started to work correctly.

Then it’s some laminated A3 & A4 posters for the Newtown Amateur Boxing Club.

Another client drops in with more problems on MS Teams…….. Hmm, Beginning to smell a rat here!
Re-installing “Teams” does the trick again. Methinks Microsoft have been having a few bad day’s of late.

Website Updates

A client has been having problems with the PayPal Payment System on his website. It’s not been sending his customers contact number, which can cause problems with deliveries etc. These issues prompted some necessary Website Updates to improve the site’s functionality.

After little to no help from PayPal (Grrrrr), we found out that it was a problem with the payment software, it was a matter of safely backing up the site, removing the offending Plug-In, replacing it, setting it up, test, test & test again!

All done in 2 hours flat, another happy customer.

Now, time to update my own website, as I’m extending the opening hours to 5:30 pm, due to customer demand. Then it’s off to Google, Bing & Apple Maps to inform them of the new times.

Then I’ll have just enough time to get some scheduled maintenance done on the other websites that I look after. A lot of it is done automatically, but I also like to do a thorough check-up of each website and a complete backup manually too, every month, to be archived securely off & on-line.

Now the websites are nicely updated, time for a coffee!
