One of our latest members at Blogging Beginners wasn’t thinking he was in need of real blogging instructions but had a few “issues” with WordPress that he was struggling to put right.
I’ve always believed in “customer service” NOT the type you get in Customer Service Departments (what a misnomer those things are – the last thing they provide is service!) but what we all really know what is required:
Doing what you should to help someone and going the extra mile without thought of “what’s in it for me”. Oh yes, and doing it before you’re asked!
Well, back to Kevin.
Actually no, I’ll let you read Kevin’s story at his Kevingonline List Building blog.
Here is a small excerpt:
Then after changing my theme to a much more manageable one, I had a small issue I couldn’t fix and when I asked him about it, he made a 5 minute video and sent it to me with detailed instructions on how to complete the process — I was blown away! Mark and Randy are my idea of what customer service should be everywhere.
We all do what we think is right and then someone actually stands up and tells you.
I can’t tell you how good that makers you feel.
Thanks Kevin – you’re a gentleman (That’s probably just a quaint old English saying – in modern day terms – You Rock!!)
Based on Kevin’s feedback I’ve decided to give something a try. I may live to regret this but I’ve decided to add a “Chat With Me On Skype” facility to WizzerSays. It’s already over there in the sidebar.
Now here’s the deal:
- I’m in the UK and I won’t be getting up in my pajamas in the middle of the night to tell you how to put your cat out. (Those of you who know me from Guru Fodder will understand the pajamas reference!
- I have a full time business away from the internet which means although I’m near my computer most of the time I’m not available all day everyday.
- I have a family and I do move away from the computer at weekends
- If I’m here I will chat with you and provide answers to your questions or if I don’t know I’ll find out.
- The plugin I’ve installed looks pretty good but I’ve not fully tested it yet – bit hard to call yourself so please be patient while I iron out the wrinkles.
Kevin – if you’d like to do the honours…

Hi Wizzer,
Wow, what a nice surprise to come visit your blog and see your latest post is talking about my testimonial for BloggingBeginners! I meant every word of my post and will be singing praises (in an Earthly sense of course) to you and Randy for a long time. I can’t imagine how much I’m about to learn from you two and draw from your experience.
I think your new idea of incorporating Skype is a good one, I hope it doesn’t cause you any trouble, it’s gutsy on your part! Thanks again for all your help and your unmatched customer service!
Have an excellent day!
Kevin
Kevin Griffith’s last blog post..The Total Blogging Solution
Can’t add anything to that! Thank you
I have visited Kevins site and it’s one I will go back to. He’s fun and friendly – thats what helps a site stand out to me.
And as a blogging beginner member I can only tell you that the help never stops and what you learn opens new doors all the time. All the programs that stopped me from doing what I wanted are making sense and its going to be a great building block to my new adventures.
Denise’s last blog post..Container Gardening
Thanks Denise – For anyone else reading this – Denise is amazing. I can’t believe how much information she has devoured over the past few weeks.
Absolute living proof of what can be achieved with focus. Check her sites out – if you like gardening you’ll become a regular reader.
Boy all these testimonials are making me blush
Thank you guys. Maybe I should stop working so hard on my surprise that has consumed me technically for the last couple of weeks. (Yes, I too get lost in the tech stuff) But no that wouldn’t be fair to you all. It is coming I should actually have something for you to test by the end of next week
Randy The Hermit’s last blog post..Get Rid of Can’t and Newbie to Succeed!
Don’t even think about it. Back to work, go on “Do It Now”!
Hi Guys,
Great to see Kevin on your blog and that he got good advice from you. I am so glad I gave him the link and told him how good you both are. I always plug your site and praise you both . You guys always go the extra mile.
