I will not wear this honorary doctorate, but now at least I have a document that I did not start it!

In the post “What is online-dentist.hu about?” I wrote this: “This blog is mainly about me. About the birth, growth, successes, failures, joys, fears of a new phase of my life. About the physical and spiritual journey I have begun.”

I was curious to see how much of the 58 posts I’ve written so far are physically and how much are spiritually motivated. That’s why I made a little summary of the distribution of posts by category.

From this I see that 48% of the posts were about my thoughts and feelings, 44% were about preparation tasks, and 9% were about the blog. This ratio of approximately half and half was not conscious, it just happened that way.

My thoughts are in constant motion every day, physical preparation is moving a little slower now. I will also write a post about how I use my time, the point is that now there is so much going on every day, so I have less time to think and write. So this post will be all for now.

But I am not stopping.

Summary

You can read about the conditions after which I wanted to make the site live.

The online-dentist.hu went public yesterday.

I put the site together weeks ago and it has been running under my own domain since the very beginning. Yet only yesterday did I see the time to remove the password protection.

I wanted to have something to read on the site before the live launch. The sixteen posts seemed to be enough. At the same time – since I talked about this work quite a lot to those around me – I was increasingly asked when my writings would be readable.

I planned to have the entire framework ready before the launch. I had an idea of ​​what I wanted to achieve, and some ideas came along the way. I implemented the following:

Bilingual site

Every part of the site is available in both Hungarian and English. This doesn’t just mean that I have to translate every post and content on every page. I have to set up contact forms, approval pages, outgoing emails, and as much of the general text as possible, which often appear automatically on the website. Even though I’ve worked quite a bit on bilingualism, there are still elements on the site that only appear in English. It’s not worth it for me to deal with them at the moment.

WordPress plugin used: PolyLang.

My map

I already wrote about this on the My Map page. I fulfilled an old wish by displaying the places I have visited in the world on a map. I will continue to work with this page, I would like to use my own markers on it, but I did not make this a condition for publishing the page.

The plugin is not free, I bought the 1-page license for 59 USD. After the purchase, I received a questionnaire that I filled out, and as a gift I received a 3-page license for 99 USD. The creator of the plugin must be a really good person, we even exchanged a letter.

WordPress plugin used: WP Go Maps

Sitemap

The sitemap is from the Elementor WordPress page builder plugin, I really like the timeline visual it gives.

I also wanted a table of contents-like list, and this idea led to the Post Table of Contents page. To create this, I had to nag Google a bit and try more than one plugin. Now that I have it, I can only praise the professionalism of the add-on.

WordPress plugin used: Display Posts

Countdown timer

Since all sorts of dates arise in the context of future planning, I wanted to visually display certain dates and the time needed to reach them. After a few tries, I found the Countdown Wpdevart plugin.

This is a plugin that can be used for free and with a subscription. In this case, I did not purchase the plugin. However, there were a few parameters in it that I wanted to change, but they could not be done in the free version. This is where my web development experience came in handy, and I was able to solve the changes that were important to me by applying my own CSS.

WordPress plugin used: Countdown Timer – Widget Countdown

New post subscription option

The last condition for opening it to the public was for me to create the possibility for the site visitors to subscribe to a mailing list, from which they would automatically receive an email notification when a new post was published on the site.

I had previously used such a solution on my personal website. However, yesterday I had to face the fact that the solution used there was outdated, that plugin is no longer available.

I also asked for the help of artificial intelligence to select a new add-on. This is how I came to the MailPoet plugin after watching several videos and tutorials. This tool impressed me at first with its professionalism. I had to take a lot of (simple) steps to make the add-on work properly, including connecting a few additions to my domain, validating the email addresses used. To do this, I also had to create a few under my own domain, maybe now was the time.

After I configured the entire system, I had to wait for a validation from the developer, who would examine my site to make sure it didn’t create a spam system. I waited for the confirmation, which they said could take up to 48 hours. I didn’t have to wait that long, I got a message that my site was unavailable, so I couldn’t get the confirmation for now. A vicious circle formed: until this feature was up and running, I didn’t want to make the site live, but until I made it live, I wouldn’t get this feature. So I took the courage, removed the password protection, wrote to the developer, and soon received approval.

WordPress plugin used: MailPoet

After departure

After going live, I wrote to my family and a few friends to let them know that the site was available. I immediately received a few pointers about the existing errors and suggestions on what I could write differently. One of my friends immediately volunteered to be a proofreader.

I am grateful for all the comments, let me know if I have written something wrong or if something is not clear!

My best wishes

I hope you, dear reader, enjoy reading my writings as much as I enjoy writing them!

If you are interested in anything, please ask!

I would love to hear from you!

This blog is mainly about me. About the birth, growth, successes, failures, joys, fears of a new phase of my life. About the physical and spiritual journey I have begun.

If you know me, you can get to know me better here. If you are also on a similar journey and no one is holding your hand, seek support in my thoughts.

If you are looking for a solution that I can provide you along the way, contact me with confidence.

I look forward to the journey ahead and the people I will meet. I am sure I will meet people whose stories will be worth sharing here.

Writing as a form of expression has been a concern of mine for years. I have taken a few writing courses, written a short story for a competition, and one was published in a book. I try to write all my ideas in a rounded form. With this blog, I can also live out my desire to write. Last but not least, I also experience the usefulness of therapeutic writing firsthand.

I’m not going back from here
The ink is already drying on my canvas
I’m painting my fate again
I’m painting it again, with colors and life
Goodbye, heaven with you

Pokolgép – Heaven with you

The grayness bites me
I should have run away from here a long time ago
Whoever wants to live, moves on

My voice is silence,
The wind blows sand into my screaming mouth
Whoever wants to live, moves on

My life is waiting for me
I changed my ticket
I feel, I can live again
You don’t have to be afraid
So that you can be afraid

I’m not going back from here anymore
Look at the sky, how clear
My heart is beating again
It’s beating again, beating to the rhythm

I’m not going back from here anymore
The ink is drying on my canvas
I’m painting my fate again
I’m painting it again, with colors and life
Goodbye, heaven with you

People are the same
Common sense is lost in the crowd
Whoever wants to live, moves on

My voice is silence
The wind blows sand into my screaming mouth
Whoever wants to live, moves on

My life is waiting for me
I changed my ticket ticket
I feel I can live again
You don’t need to be afraid
To be afraid

I’m not going back from here anymore
Look at the sky, how clear
My heart is beating again
It’s beating again, beating to the rhythm

I’m not going back from here anymore
The ink is already drying on my canvas
I’m painting my fate again
I’m painting it again with colors and life
Goodbye, heaven with you

Summary

Why I named my blog to online dentis?

I had been in the game that this blog is about for weeks. The program codenamed Creating a New Life occupied almost all my thoughts and made my mind like a sponge. I opened a gate towards myself and the world began to flow towards me like an unstoppable stream.

In this state of openness to everything, I heard the term online dentist within the framework of an online course – of course, dealing with the topic. I immediately noted it down so that I could later retrieve that pun and give myself time to think about it.

However, I was so carried away by the flow that I decided not to think for a minute whether this name was good or not. I immediately started registering the domain.
I know that the path I set out on is real. But it is still a bit of a dream, a bit of a fairy tale and a bit of a search for what is not there.

The history of the domain

My first plan was to name my blog online-dentist.travel. Online-dentist, because I thought some of my readers would be English, and .travel TLD, because the site would be about travel.

It soon turned out that instead of the usual 10 USD/year fee, the fee for this TLD was 124 USD/year.

So my plan became the address online-dentist.com. After submitting the domain request, it turned out that it was not a free domain, but it could be purchased. For a total fee of 1.488 USD.

After that, my blog address became online-dentist.hu.

The story continues

After I filled out the second domain request, I accidentally pressed the big red “no” button instead of the big green “yes” when asked “Are you sure you want to register the domain?” on the domain request interface. It seems that for some reason this domain doesn’t want to go live. But I’m already starting to swim against the waves!

As you can see, I successfully competed with the waves: I managed to press the green button for the second time.
