I started the Uncle Lewy blog in June 2025, having zero experience doing anything like this
Now, there are 137 posts communicating our journey
I was feeling things were getting a bit bulky, there were some issues that needed fix’n, things could be more interesting
Mary said, “why don’t you ask AI to help you” when I had mentioned using Thumbtack to hire someone with WordPress experience
At the time she mentioned it, I was tired, so using AI to help me felt overwhelming
She took it on herself, typing into ChatGPT the issue I had voiced
She read out loud the response, which seemed reasonable, doable, when I wasn’t so tired
Spring forward a few days, when I found myself needing a quiet activity as Matt slept away most of Saturday
I started a convo with ChatGPT, started making changes to the blog site
I told Chat who my audience was
Chat reviewed my site and very nicely first complimented me on what I have already done, then provided some suggestions
When I couldn’t figure something out, I asked Chat how to do it
Always patient, never condescending, never a know it all, always kind
It was actually a pretty decent experiement!
I’ve now added pictures of us, made plans for a way new folks can easily drop in, or help those walking with us to find key posts
Made some explanatory things a bit easier to get to
Many of you get the email that comes with a daily post
Come look at the revamped site itself, let me know what you think! UncleLewy
Its definitely a work in progress, I’ll probably keep tinkering with it and keep talking with Chat
That’s kind of how these things go…..
