New Blog Post: Streamline Workflows with Microsoft Power Automate

beltan.com.au/power-automate/

This is one question I get asked a lot as a trainer and a web designer. So I finally decided to get it down in writing to give you some guidance on how to create your own WordPress website from the beginning.

beltan.com.au/create-a-wordpress-website/

My two work passions: training and web design. Love both equally. I can sit and tinker with a web design for hours upon hours and then realise I forgot to have lunch. So if you need a little help with your website or maybe you need a website designed, give me a call for a chat.

I seem to label a lot of Excel features as “my favourite” so I decided to commit and list my Top 6 features of Microsoft Excel in print.

What an amazingly busy start to the year I’ve had. I cannot believe we are nearing the end of April already. I’ve finally managed to grab a few hours to put together my first blog post for 2022 (crazy)..

I’ve been working on a lot of website design and SEO over the last few months and have been exploring the Squarespace platform. Based on that experience i’ve put together a few key comparisons between Squarespace and WordPress.

Check it out here:

I am back for 2022 and ready with a new blog post to kick off the year.

For those using WordPress, see why you need to incorporate fundamental WordPress security features to keep your website safe from hackers.

I’ve been using Word a fair bit the past few weeks. I love my shortcuts but thought I’d share my 3x most favourite and most frequently used shortcuts for Word. Ctrl + F12 I use very frequently. It lets me bypass having to go into the File tab to open my next document – saves me around 3 mouse clicks every time!

"An investment in knowledge pays the best interest."

Received my TAFE NSW SOA certificate in the mail late last week. It’s very satisfying when you can add something into your CV that is in line with your work and your passions. Enjoyed picking up some new tricks with this course which covered social media engagement (*wink*) and build and launch a small business website.

More learning to come in 2021. Always remembering that “Those who teach must never cease to learn.”

You wouldn’t learn to drive a car by watching, so we’ll have you in the driver’s seat with hands-on real-world exercises to practice and use the software. This approach helps to build confidence and practise always makes perfect!
