    From Wix’ed Out to WordPressed: My Website Woes & Wins

    Listen… I’ve been through some things.

    If you’ve ever launched a website, then you already know—it’s not just drag, drop, done. It’s more like drag, drop, cry, repeat. So here’s the tea: I officially made the switch from Wix to WordPress, and let’s just say it was like trading in a tricycle for a complicated spaceship. 🚲➡️🚀

    Now before the WordPress fanboys come at me, let me explain.

    Wix Was Cute… Until It Wasn’t

    At first, I thought Wix was that girl. It was giving “easy-to-use,” “templates for days,” and “I don’t need to code, baby.” But then reality hit. The editor got clunky, updates got glitchy, and don’t get me started on trying to add new features. Every time I needed something basic it was like, “Upgrade to this plan, then unlock that one, and oh—by the way—surprise billing.”

    The worst part? It just stopped growing with me. I had plans—big plans. Different business lines, content ideas, products, services, a whole digital empire… and Wix was over here acting like I was asking too much. 🥴

    GoDaddy? Been There.

    Before all that, I was a GoDaddy guy. I’ll give them their flowers—they got me started when I knew nothing. But honestly? Trying to update a GoDaddy site in 2025 feels like manually tuning a radio in the Spotify era. It’s doing way too much for way too little.

    Every time I needed to make a change, I was clicking through 10 menus like I was hacking the Pentagon. No thanks. ✌️

    Enter WordPress: Love-Hate Relationship Activated

    So now I’m on WordPress. Not gonna lie… at first I felt like a tourist with no map. Plugins? Blocks? Themes that break your site if you breathe wrong? I almost ran back to Wix out of fear.

    But we’re here now. And we’re adapting.

    It’s still a little annoying at times (okay, a lot), but the flexibility? I can’t deny it. I can finally build what I want withoutgetting nickel-and-dimed to death. Plus, the ecosystem is way better for someone like me—trying to juggle multiple projects and brands like I’m in a startup circus.

    Yeah, Plans Are Higher—But So Am I

    I won’t lie, the pricing for WordPress plans nowadays ain’t cheap either. Hosting, themes, plugins—it adds up. But honestly? I’m more invested in this now than ever. Because this isn’t just about having a website—it’s about building a platform. One I can scale with, grow with, and actually use to make money moves.

    The Content Plan: Mush It All In

    I made a decision: instead of launching ten different sites for ten different things, I’m mushing it all together—under OMGITZLO, under Viddz TV, under all these wild ideas in my head. I’m making content. I’m launching projects. I’m staying busy—so busy, it might as well be a full-time job. Only difference? I’m the boss now. 😎

    Final Thoughts:

    Switching platforms isn’t easy. It’s messy, frustrating, and yeah—I’ve yelled at my laptop more than once. But I’m learning as I go. And just like with everything else in my life, I’m turning the chaos into content.

    Because if I gotta go through it… you know I’m blogging about it.

    Bruh, Mastodon really banned me for ‘AI-related activity’ like I ain’t a whole human out here. Guess I gotta prove I bleed next? 😂🤖

  • Honoring Martin Luther King Jr. Day at OMGITZLO

    Honoring Martin Luther King Jr. Day at OMGITZLO

    At OMGITZLO, we’re more than just a business — we’re a brand with purpose. And on Martin Luther King Jr. Day, we’re stepping back from our daily grind to honor a man whose message still hits hard today. Dr. King didn’t just preach about equality and justice — he lived it, fought for it, and made sure his voice carried for generations.

    With that in mind, we’ll be suspending all business operations on this day to reflect, recharge, and remember what it means to stand for something bigger than ourselves.

    Why We’re Taking This Day Off

    Look, running a business can be nonstop — but some things are more important than just the hustle. MLK Day isn’t about taking a break; it’s about taking time to reflect on what really matters.

    Dr. King’s fight for equality wasn’t just his battle — it’s a call to all of us to do better. At OMGITZLO, we take that seriously. Our mission is to uplift, empower, and give people a platform to be seen and heard. That’s what we do every day with our work, and that’s how we honor Dr. King’s legacy.

    What This Day Means to OMGITZLO

    For me personally, this day is a reminder that it’s not enough to just talk about change — you have to live it.

    At OMGITZLO, we’re all about creating spaces where everyone feels included and valued. Dr. King’s words remind us to keep pushing for a world where opportunities aren’t just for a select few — they’re for everyone. And that’s what we’re building, one project at a time.

    Our Commitment Moving Forward

    • On MLK Day, We Pause: Business operations are on hold so we can take time to reflect, learn, and focus on giving back.

    • Beyond MLK Day, We Keep Working: The fight for equality and inclusion doesn’t stop when the holiday ends. We’ll keep showing up, lifting up voices, and creating content that matters.

    Dr. King said it best:

    “The time is always right to do what is right.”

    We’re going to keep doing what’s right — in our business, in our communities, and in our everyday lives.

    Let’s keep dreaming big, building with purpose, and standing for something real.
