Yes, even the great Wizely occasionally slips-up , which is why Mrs.Wizely being a proofreader helps a lot!.

I've found some time and am almost ready to launch my new Wordpress site. So there I was adding images to each category heading when one of them refused to show an image. It took me several minutes to find the typo in the 'category slug' which was robbing me of displaying it...

Instead of "Converting Visitors" I had inadvertently typed "coveting-visitors" which is an entirely different thing! :D

teehee so you covet your visitors wizely?

I got one too, although really it is my boyfriend who did it. He is doing first aid training this week at work, he sent me a text at lunch saying "woo today we are doing bondages! hows your day going?" I am just curious as to if he is sure it is first aid training he is doing or if I should be worried :pp

Classic one Dizi! :lol:
I don't think you need to worry - perhaps it's just that "men think about sex every 6 seconds" and that's why we make all these Freudian slips!

I have made that exact same error before wizely and it took me ages to find it lol.

And I have sent loads of stupid things in text because of predictive texts.
