Whilst ColourMine was on Squarespace there were several challenges I was faced. This is another small one that impacted the whole process of website building that I was faced with on a daily basis. I didn’t realise when I started it would be an ongoing day to day battle, but here I was, again.

ColourMine & Squarespace Website Rebranding Update

Now having changed all the colours 
On the ColourMine logo to pink 
On every page, 
Yes, I know that was quick 
Although not as quick 
As some of you think 
It should have been 
But I’m only one person 
Not a whole team 

Another sitemap is in place for 
Google Search Console 
To have a look and see 
That ColourMine is looking 
And playing fabulously 
So pink and marvellous wouldn’t you agree 
But, woah, Google doesn’t seem to be 
On the same page as me 

I check and look and what do I see 
Two URLs for each blog post 
Staring back at me 
Also, I’d already changed 
The Social Sharing Image 
Across the board
Now it’s returned and it’s quite a hoard

The only thing I could think of to do
Remove and delete every one 
That’s not ColourMine recent food
Now I’ve reinstated the pink logo 
For the new ColourMine 
I’ll just crack on 

And chuck any rubbish I find 
Into the bin is what I shall do 
If it’s not anything ColourMine true 
There’s something annoying I’m hoping to find 
Well, it’s plain to see I’m obviously 
Missing something that’s annoyingly 
Visual to Google or is it only me? 

I looked and I looked but I couldn’t see 
That annoying double URL looking back at me 
Then I had a bright idea, I’m on a laptop you see 
The whole information screen is not visible to me 
I scroll down and look; 
There it was looking at me 

Problem Solved

It had been hiding in that nook, 
Now it’s very visible for me 
All deleted and corrected diligently 
All they say now is the website 
And the name of the blog 
Oh, Whooptidee 

Now maybe it’s time for a think 
Maybe have another drink 
Maybe consider a glass of Asti for me 
Or I might be good and 
Have another cup of tea 
Well, that’s a strong possibility 
Especially considering I went to the fridge 

And there in front of me 
I found the Asti has gone 
Looks like the eternal fridge monster (Me) 
Has only gone and stolen my last bottle hehe, So,
I’d best stick to a good old British cup of tea.
