WIX Noobie Fail

I believe one of our early posts was regarding this site being a trial of using WIX as an alternate blog platform.

Well for the most part WIX has proven pretty easy to adopt, but with a couple of caveats.

  1. The creators of WIX cannot account for user stupidity

  2. WIX is quite rich in its features and for a WIX noob like me, the many settings have tripped me up several times.

The latest and perhaps my worst blogging blunder ever, is that as we were starting this blog we got quite a few early subscribers and because we were making a LOT of page changes in the early weeks, at some point I (not we) must have turned off the "Send email notifications to subscribers toggle" to avoid spamming those early subscribers.


We went ahead and produced a handful of posts then became busy working with some great new software for Facebook Messenger automation and a complete all-in-one web presence and marketing suite of tools by Groove.


Periodically we made minor updates and posts to this blog but noticed none of our subscribers had bothered to come back to the site to view new posts.

So we sent you all an email apologising for lack of consistent new content and promised some new content soon. In due course we published some of our notes on coffee shots and what the mighty "God Shot" is really all about.

Then ... well ... nothing!

At this point we were suspicious something was wrong with the site so we started comparing settings between this Coffee site and our Photography site and then spotted that we did not have new-post notifications turned on for subscribers ... DOH!


Oh well, lets hope it works from here on.

The name Przedszkole Debno clearly points to preschool and a local identity. That makes me think about the small routines children encounter when a new day begins. I associate Przedszkole Debno preschool routines with questions about arriving, finding an activity, and understanding what happens after goodbye. A familiar sequence can be reassuring without making every child move at the same pace. I like attention to those everyday details, because a comfortable beginning can leave more room for curiosity during the rest of the day.

ProArtes naturally brings the arts to mind, including the unfinished work that comes before a polished result. I am interested in sketches, rehearsals, and decisions that help someone express an idea more clearly. That is what appeals to me about ProArtes arts learning. A beginner can learn from seeing why a creative choice changed, not just from admiring the final version. I like artistic learning that gives experimentation enough room to be useful without expecting every attempt to look complete.

The combination of PP1 and Calineczka suggests a preschool identity with a story-like name. It makes me think about the small experiences that help young children become comfortable with learning together. That is the connection I make with PP1 Calineczka preschool learning. Choosing an activity, asking for help, or sharing materials can each be a meaningful step. I like descriptions that give those ordinary moments attention rather than treating early learning as a race toward a large finished achievement.

The idea of the power of opinions raises an interesting question: what makes an opinion worth listening to? For me, it is the explanation behind it and the willingness to hear a different account. That is what I associate with Moc Opinii thoughtful opinions. A strong statement can attract attention, but a specific example gives others something to examine. I appreciate discussions where questioning a claim remains possible without turning the disagreement into a judgment of the person who made it.

Piko is a short name that feels easy to remember, but the educational meaning still needs to be explained. I would be curious about the connection between that identity and the content a visitor is meant to explore. That is my starting point for Piko educational content. I prefer a concrete introduction and a useful example over guessing from the name. A clear subject gives readers something to respond to and helps them decide which question they want to follow next.
