Shoulder Rehab device heads to St. Louis and Upgrade your Blog with the WPAU Plugin

June 16, 2008 · Posted in Blogging, Entrepreneurship, The Rotater · 4 Comments 

I’ve been busy, busy, busy (this is my very weak attempt to excuse my lack of posting here at soupornuts.com).

The Rotater is attracting international attention. Two highly respected physicians from the U.K. have contacted us about our shoulder rehab and stretching device and have expressed an interest in distributing the Rotater in the U.K. One of theses physicians ( a distinguished orthopedic surgeon who specializes in shoulder injuries ) has ordered a Rotater for testing and evaluation. We are very excited.

Scott Kay and I will be in St. Louis ( June 17–21 ) at the America’s Center Convention Center (booth #2242) for the National Athletic Trainer’s Association’s annual convention to demonstrate and answer questions about our shoulder rehab and stretching device – the Rotater. This should be another great opportunity for us to make the sporting world aware of the benefits of stretching your shoulder with the Rotater.

Scott unveiled a very crude prototype of the Rotater at the 2006 NATA annual conference in Atlanta. This initial showing was a viability test for the Rotater. The response of these sports professionals was beyond our wildest dreams and provided the motivation for refining the design, producing a mold and proceeding to mass production.

If you’re coming to the NATA convention or live in the St. Louis area, then please stop by booth #2242 and say hi. I’d love to meet you.

WordPress Automatic Uprgrade Plugin Saves “Shoulder Performance & Rehab”

After returning from Indianapolis a couple of weeks ago, I started having problems with Blogjet / Wordpress – but only on our blog – Shoulder Performance & Rehab. I sent an inquiry to the support staff at Blogjet ( I love Blogjet and they have very good customer service ) and was informed that I needed to upgrade my WordPress software. Sadly, I was running version 2.02 and had been putting off this dreaded task.

I have done some research into the WordPress Automatic Upgrade Plugin in the past, but was never really convinced that something terrible wouldn’t go wrong and cause me to lose everything. Now I had no choice.

  • I down-loaded the WPAU
  • I uploaded it to my plugins folder as directed
  • I activated the plugin
  • WPAU walked me through the entire procedure
  • Everything worked perfectly

Ten minutes and I’m done. It was simple, filled with instructions and explanations. If you’ve been putting off a badly needed upgrade, don’t wait any longer. Down-load the plugin and get it over with.

Soupornuts.com is next on the upgrade agenda – if I can just make time to do it.
