Patrick – great post! As a Virtual Assistant who helps many business owners with this “scary” frontier I believe you very clearly outlined so many of the reasons why we just don’t take action.
Even though my website is on Version 3.1 (hee, hee…) I am still not entirely happy with it and afraid to spend even more money getting it to where I want it to be.
Another thing that frustrates me so much is to hear people tell me they don’t have control on their own website. Why do webmasters do that? (okay, I really don’t need an answer).
I love being able to modify mine when I want to…admittedly I have “broken” it a few times!
You are right…don’t say it’s not time! There are so many people out there who can help….even if you have to go to multiple sources to get the entire “package”.
Hands down, I can say that Twitter has increased my business, my leads and my sphere of influence! (hey, that’s how I happened across this post, right?)
Looking forward to reading more of your blogs!

@Michelle –
Agreed on every front. When you don’t have access to the funds to get what you need or want, you have to pull up the old bootstraps and dig in.
You’re doing the right thing by trying your hand @ modifying your site and I’ll bet you’re learning a thing or two along the way (PLEASE tell me you’re backing it up first!).
Business owners should ask their web development firm for a Content Management System (CMS) which allows non-programmers like a staff member (or VA!) to make changes to the site without compromising the integrity of the design. We offer a CMS on all our customers’ websites and even retrofit websites with CMS. The money saved by making those updates yourself is immeasurable.
Finally, Twitter is a great platform to meet new people and potential customers. The rest of the world is finally figuring that out! Thanks for the comment

Well, I finally got around to watching some of these videos, at least the ones where I wasn’t sure if I knew the stuff or not. Glad you put it together; I liked Chris’ message the best.
