I float for you!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

With a new url.<\/p>\n

Which you already know.<\/p>\n

Because you’re on her brand new, state of the art, privately-hosted blogging platform right now<\/strong><\/span>, and this site,\u00a0http:\/\/rebeccaleone.com\/blog<\/a>,\u00a0the site you’re on right now, \u00a0is where the Pilates Nun’s\u00a0content will magically reappear, article by article, organized into her exclusive category and by original publication date, until everything that was there, will be here. \u00a0Like internet magic.<\/p>\n

The internet made me take down the original Nun site.<\/p>\n

Here’s why.<\/p>\n

I’m a leader in the Pilates industry for lots of reasons but one\u00a0of the most important\u00a0is\u00a0that I’ve been first<\/em> to use the internet to bring my work to you, the vast majority of it for free. \u00a0I’m what’s called an\u00a0early adopter <\/em>of emerging internet technology which, almost all the time is a\u00a0good thing,\u00a0<\/em>except for when it isn’t.<\/p>\n

Before the majority of other educators\u00a0knew what a blog was and\u00a0years\u00a0before the platforms that dominate blog hosting today\u00a0were even around, I used the absolute best platform available at the time to build\u00a0my little Pilates Nun blog. \u00a0It was up for over 8 long years and\u00a0it was full of 100% original content – no writer’s block here! –\u00a0\u00a0that all had one important thing in common; every article\u00a0comprehensively detailed\u00a0important educational\u00a0aspects of teaching, business development, staffing, client service outside the session, and a bunch of fun stuff that didn’t have anything to do with teaching but had to do with living a good life, a big life, a full life, on being happy, being strong, resilient and self-sufficient. \u00a0Thanks to you, dear reader, my PilatesNun.com site became very industry-famous, and whenever readership soars Google knows it so my little Nun site ended up at or near the top of\u00a0many of your problem-solving Google searches. \u00a0Thank you, thank you, thank you for that and for everything else you’ve ever done to support my work.<\/p>\n

I knew the Nun site had reached critical mass when one of my longtime athlete clients from Seattle, Samantha Boyd<\/a>, was\u00a0walking through the food court at one of Seattle’s larger Home Depots, passed a group of older men sitting at a picnic table eating, and overheard one of them say, and I quote, “the Pilates Nun fixed my back.” \u00a0Samantha stopped dead in her tracks, then approached him and told him she, also, knew the Pilates Nun. \u00a0He corrected her. \u00a0He didn’t know me\u00a0IRL<\/a>, he only knew me by having found the Nun site online as he searched for relief from back pain.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

So the Nun site was definitely reaching people I surely never could without it, and that’s an amazing feeling. \u00a0And it’s an enormous privilege. \u00a0And it’s a really important\u00a0responsibility.<\/p>\n

But the very internet that I used to bring that marvelously deep content to you is the reason the site had to eventually be taken down.<\/p>\n

The internet made me take it down because the back end of the Nun site had become\u00a0so prehistorically ancient that the internet, which changes for the newer\/faster\/smarter\/better every second of every day, eventually broke up with the back end technology we’d used for the Nun site.<\/p>\n

Hosting platforms like the one I’m using to write to you right now have constant choices to make about how current they’ll stay, what changes they’ll make in market focus, and even if they’ll stay in business. \u00a0The platform we used for the original Nun site couldn’t keep up with the powerful emergence of blogspot and WordPress, blogging platform behemoths, and my old back end simply became too old for the modern internet to make sense of. \u00a0When that happened, the site came down and all the content went into storage.<\/p>\n

Where it still remains. \u00a0Completely intact and just waiting to get back out here so together, we can reach more folks who need help.<\/p>\n

Nun content is on the way. \u00a0Plus, as you know, I’m still writing a ton and this site, this “we’ll be together forever” back end and I, will contain all my new written material, as well.<\/p>\n

Thank you for your patience while I’ve done a million other things that were momentarily more important than\u00a0dealing with the Nun site. \u00a0Thank you\u00a0for waiting for me to finally get around to it. \u00a0Thank you for reading me.<\/p>\n

In case you were wondering – you were, weren’t you? – I want to\u00a0assure you about my other platforms. \u00a0All of them are state of the art and all of them enjoy\u00a0market entrenchment so deep that there’s no way imaginable\u00a0that they’d become obsolete.<\/p>\n

Let’s go through my various innovations, one by one. \u00a0This is a good opportunity for you to review your engagement and make sure you’re getting notifications of new posts on the platforms you most enjoy.<\/p>\n

I was the First Educator:<\/p>\n

*and still only* to produce a video site<\/a>, full of comprehensive, valuable \u00a0free<\/em>\u00a0100% original educational content. \u00a0After hearing how I wanted to share video educational content with you, my brilliant web consulting\u00a0genius, Sean Hreha of Breezy<\/a>, recommended I use Vimeo.com for my video site, and for over 7 years<\/em> I’ve been pumping out the video content on my Vimeo channel since<\/p>\n

*and still only* to video record all courses\u00a0and give you a copy, plus a copy of the next time I teach the same content. \u00a0Internet file transfer services have historically been\u00a0befuddled by the burden of transferring large video files so course attendees\u00a0used to have to provide me with an external hard drive for me to copy the video files onto (which takes hours and hours and hours of my time) but now Dropbox, my preferred file transfer service, has finally caught up with me and now has the technological attention span necessary to allow me to upload an unlimited<\/em> number of hours of video and transfer those video files to you via the internet. \u00a0Live long enough, everything works out!<\/p>\n

*and still only* to email push<\/a>\u00a0substantive free valuable content to my 100%-you-asked-to-be-on-it mailing list. \u00a0Your inbox is undoubtedly flooded with emails from tons of other educators but their\u00a0emails absolutely do not<\/em> contain\u00a0substantive, comprehensive educational content. \u00a0Mine do, and always have, and always will. \u00a0If you’re not on my email list but want to be, email me at educationconspiracy@gmail.com\u00a0that you’d like to be added and I’ll get you on it.<\/p>\n

to\u00a0teach via Skype; many many other educators\u00a0have followed but they don’t film it for you like I do.<\/p>\n

to podcast<\/a>\u00a0with over 50 hours of free substantive educational content on my Listen & Learn playlist<\/a>; not many\u00a0other educators have followed my podcasting lead and here’s why; podcasting reveals the speaker’s ability to speak logically, progressively, constructively – or not – and many “educators” know they can’t do that AND they don’t know how\/want to edit the way they’d have to in order to make themselves sound reasonably capable.<\/p>\n

to offer my services bespoke; what you need, exactly the way you need it, completely customized for you. \u00a0My skill set is very broad so not only can I, of course, help you with all things Pilates, but I also offer you my design and creative services to help you do things like choose your studio name and tag lines, design your logo, design and content-create\u00a0your website, design and content-create your studio forms.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

My forever promise to you is that I will continue to early-adopt, I’ll always keep innovating – I can’t help it! – and I’ll always give you as much of me as I possibly can, for free.<\/p>\n

Thank you for being here!<\/p>\n
