Obsticles

Its times like this where I feel like shouting from the top of my lounges for joy. I decide around the time of my last blog on Feb 14 2008 to make changes to my blog URL address so it would showcase my blog and web site profile at the same time.

When I signed up for Blogger.com free blog service I didn’t know how profoundly blogging resources or even the community of blogging would impact me on providing my mission for a “unified auto collision industry” exposure.

The information my web service provider Sitebuildit.com and the provider of my CNAME blog blogger.com gave me seem so simple and straightforward that even a novice of internet technology like me could make changes to a URL and blend two separate services provider together with ease. Things are not all ways, as they seem, it was a pain and gut wrenching experience – even now thinking about the last few weeks of tying to get dontek.blogspot.com redirected and renamed dontek.tektalk.net was overwhelming.

I recognized at the onset of the process it wasn’t going to be a walk-in-the-park from the information I received and both service providers posted on their web sites in order to perform this “simple task” (from their point of view when relaying technical information).

So, I made up my mind with a realistic and achievable goal in hand. No matter what obstacle or issues I had to endure and assistance I required, I know my goal was possible.

The feeling of accomplishing something you set out to accomplish and being able to over come big or small obstacles to accomplish that thing (of positive meaning to community and you) is always a feeling of self-satisfaction, because you know from this point on fruitful growth is possible.

I guess there could be a negative spin on accomplishing something and being able to over come big or small obstacles, if that thing happens to be of selfish gains and no meaning to community. In this case there is always a diminishing feeling and an uphill battle of justification.

In the assessment to this whole task of redirecting my blog URL and the comparison I’ve made in relationship to my mission on creating a “unified auto collision industry”.

Working with two services parties that have separate polices and procedures (in the case of the auto collision industry lots of parties) to achieve a common goal is attainable –but the question is…is the auto collision industry ready to establish new goals for the better of the community?
