I might as well say it now - I don’t have a creative bone in my body, I can’t draw, I can’t sketch, I can’t use paint or anything like that to create anything pretty, I just can’t do it! I don’t have any pictorial expertise at all, either by hand or with a specific programme for the sketching inept. I can waffle for…

Hey everyone, So here's the issue. I want to create a card button so that when we press it, it turns all the items in a specific checklist into linked items in another list. So far so good and it's working. But I can't for the life of me work out how to assign the person the original checklist item was assigned to, to the…

Hello wonderful humans! Here's the deal, I started with Confluence 2-days ago...feeling that I could set up Zapier to link Trello to Confluence (rather than GoogleDocs) for writing Community Articles for Trello. My previous one (tweet found here) works perfectly, but as I want to get more 'into' Confluence, I thought that…

So it's 24th February, which means it's my turn for #miscellaneous-monday, woohoo! There are plenty more spaces, sign yourself up here! I went back and read a few #megsmiscellaneousmonday posts, and of course, @Andy - PTC Redundant came up with a corker where @Fernando Bordallo mentioned his favourite quote from his granny…

So, my 40th is on 2nd April (in 4 days, right in the middle of Summit) and it got me to thinking about odd birthday and Christmas presents (why wouldn't it). The sort of thing you look at and make this kind of face: But you rally, you smile and accept them, and make sure that you use the item when the gift-giver is over…

Happy Monday everyone! I'll be honest, I've just spent the best part of May 2020 binge-watching all 8 seasons of Desperate Housewives and loved every minute of it! I've just finished it (about 10 minutes ago) and yes I cried!! Though I'm a massive fan of horror (Hubster and I recently had a Stephen King's IT marathon,…

Hello Fellow Trello-Lovers! I've come across a bit of an issue that I've never had before! I decided that I wanted to take my checklists to the next level, and for each item on a checklist to be changed to linked cards. I want to have a card button that would make all the checklist items into linked cards so that I know…

Happy Monday everyone! So for this MMM, I was sent a picture in a group WhatsApp that I thought might be fun to share: You can take any two, but please remember if you want to give reasons try not to give spoilers (especially for the Sacrifice Pill!) because you can bet that there will be someone in the Community who…

Why is it that when we’re using the last jar/bottle/packet of something we don’t put it on the shopping list? I don’t know why! Is it just my house? Is it just the people who live in my house (including me) that are totally unable to add something to a shopping list when we’re using the last one? Why do we have shopping…

So, if anyone has been watching my articles for a while, you’ll know I’m all about using Google Slides for creating card covers and just about anything else that it wasn’t meant for! With this in mind, I’ve now got a couple of boards that I want to have dividers on. What I mean by that is, I have boards that contain…

Ok, so, I'm in the process of moving a massive area of my life onto Trello, specifically, my Apple Activity. This means I have 48 custom fields on the back of the card, all of which I want! To explain - because I work out at home, specifically 3 types of workout, sometimes more than 1 type in a day I have duplicates for…

So, the Atlassian Authors theme for February 2020 is: “How do you use Trello in conjunction with other Atlassian Products?“ Whereupon I had a problem - I literally live in Trello, and aside from Google Docs & Drive (all linked into Trello) I don’t use anything else! So, the wonderful @Bridget decided to set me (and other…

In these random days of change and having to adapt to those changes at a moments notice, @Monique vdB has created a #badge-challenge focused on remote work which can be found here. I’ll be honest, I’ve always wanted to work remotely. I’ve always wanted to be able to stay home all day with my husband and the girls and work…

I don’t know if you’ve ever had a ‘holy shit’ moment with your computer? Where everything disappeared and you had to start again? And I do mean EVERYTHING! I had this happen last week. I looked at my iMac and there was a flashing grey folder on the screen with a question mark in the middle: I went through all the things…

I was inspired by @Jodi LeBlanc's article entitled A Collection of Treasured Items and thought that I would start a collection board of my own. I don’t collect many physical things, but I appear to be a bit of a nail varnish addict. I hardly ever wear it, but I seem to collect them! The problem that I have is that I always…

So the theme for March on the Atlassian Community is International Women’s Day, which is amazing and as @Kat Warner has pointed out in her article ‘Women who have inspired me’, International Men’s Day is on 19 November and I already have a few ideas about who I want to mention in that as well! I hate to be a cliche, but my…

I was writing an article about my history with Trello, going from free, to Gold, to Business in 66 days, and I found my Desktop original board! I thought I would share it, it’s so simple and easy and unimposing. Nothing compared to what I have now with my million PowerUps (ok, more like 6) and Butler commands and rules for…

I have recently become a Community Leader (woohoo), and amongst the information that was sent to me, was a link to the Atlassian Authors Awards article, published on 17 January 2020. So I set about reading all the linked articles that were contained within it, to see what tips and tricks I could find in how I write and…

Traditional Vision Boards ‘Vision/Inspiration/Dream/Mood Boards’ are the new in thing, everywhere you look people are publishing inspiration boards for makeup, vision boards for kitchen remodelling, if you can think of it, there’s an [insert latest buzz word here] board for it. If you Google ‘vision board’ you get 2.6m…
