Today has been busy. I've uploaded a couple of YouTube videos (Recorded and edited them) and created THREE Courses inside the classroom here in Skool. The new Members only page is up and running on the Academy website (still Free). https://academy.anythingoverip.com Go check out the first 3 courses, they start at the basics (which is a good place to start) and from there I will continue building up. The next SEVEN courses are already in production, and will be published as I complete each one. They are all somewhere between 20% - 60% ready. However, there is only 1 left that is accessibly with a level 1 account. You will need a level 2 account for the next few courses. Don't worry, it's still free, but I'm trying to encourage you all to engage with each other and starting posting on this community so myself and everyone else can start working together. So, don't be scared, write a post, leave some comments, like some posts, like some comments. Let's get the engagement going. I've been working 14-hour days non-stop, so this weekend will be time to unplug and relax. Maybe do some woodworking with my son. I also need to finish season 4 of Stranger Things. yes I know, I'm behind! I work too much! So I have 2 questions for all of you: 1) What are you all up to this weekend? 2) What do you want to see in the Classroom section of this community?

I have been frantically building a ton of stuff in the background for this community, and the academy.anythingoverip.com website, for the last few months. Well, I'm excited to let you all know that the first courses are launching on this Skool community VERY soon! Don't panic, all the ones launching in the next few days are totally FREE, but there are some that require you to unlock your XP Levels. Consider this your heads-up to start earning your points by liking, commenting, and posting in the community to unlock higher courses.

I started a blog in 2008, which was all about training, mostly on CCNA. As time went by, the blog lost a lot of traction. When Cisco launched its forum, it became much harder to beat cisco.com for SEO on Cisco-related content. Anyway, I digress. I noticed last week that the blog is now getting an enormous amount of traffic (16k per month), but it's running on WordPress, which is as slow as a snail. Over the weekend, I started moving all the articles onto a new platform, and it's FAST! SUPER FAST! It's still hosted in my house, but my goodness, Ghost is SO much quicker than WordPress. Go see for yourself, https://www.anythingoverip.co.za <-- This is the old site running on Wordpress (please excuse the deadlinks and the fact you can see I neglected it for some time) Here is the new and improved version https://blog.anythingoverip.com <-- this is the new home for the blog posts. There are about 70 posts related to CCNA, so feel free to scan through them to see if you find anything of interest. If anything doesn't make sense, ping me in this group. BTW - the WordPress site is running caching locally, and it's running caching through Cloudflare. The new site is running NOTHING; it's just an out-of-the-box installation of Ghost at this point. I have not enabled ANY caching. Both sites are running inside my house on the same server. Both are Docker containers behind Traefik. So this really gives a great indication of all things being equal, Ghost is kicking butt! My questions to all of you, even though it's not CCNA related. Are any of you running WordPress, Ghost, or other blog platforms? Are any of you using Docker, and to what extent?

Everyone studies differently. What's working for YOU?
