I don't know about you, but I learn new things by research, watching tutorial videos, and tips from friends.  But sooner or later, I have to just step out and do it!  Since none of us are perfect that means that sometimes my technique has to be perfected through trial and error.  Lessons learned that way seem to stick with us really well!

I got one of those lessons yesterday.  I'm perfecting this web site design.  While working yesterday I accidentally "Published" before I was ready.  Well, I had posted on Twitter that I was working on Paralegal Prompts.  Fast, efficient, quick-on-the-draw Vicki Voisin, a/k/a @VickiVoisin (The Paralegal Mentor), jumped on the site and then tweeted about it.

Not knowing that Vicki had tweeted, I password protected the site so that only I could see the site during the web design process. 

Then Lynne Devenny, a/k/a @ExpertParalegal (Practical Paralegalism), tried to log on to the site and sent me a message.  I adjusted the settings so Lynne could see the site.

This morning I realized that I had made a fatal mistake on the Home Page.  I used the "N" word (non-lawyer).  There have been many blog and Twitter posts about the distaste for that word by paralegals in recent days!  How could I have made such a stupid mistake!  But I did, so to Lynne and all other paralegals who saw the site yesterday, I humbly confess my sin and ask your forgiveness. 

I went back to the drawing board, and I think you'll like the new Home Page much better!  (Sigh!)
