Pam’s Thoughtful Spot

My blog went down the tubes last week when I dared to change a domain name on one of my blogs…  You would think that it would only hose that particular blog but no indeed…  It hosed up everything to the point where I had to finally DELETE my typepad account and start fresh.

So here I am.

I’d been hosting my domain through 1and1.com and decided to start actually use them to host the blog itself.   I went crazy looking for their blog tools until I (ahem) read the directions and found out I needed a different (Linux by the way) hosting package.  Then I was up and running on the 1&1 version of Wordpress.

Which I didn’t like.

Great for beginners but not as much flexibility as I crave.  So I decided to install the real wordpress. 

That my friends has taken me two days.

I hated programming so much that when I became a consultant, I stopped learning new tools.  I didn’t realize until just this weekend how big of an idiot I’ve become with regards to CSS, PHP, etc…  I have no idea what the hell I am doing.   I managed to get this page up thanks to smarter people that know how to put together wordpress themes.  

On order and arriving this week is “Wordpress for Dummies”.

I will prevail!!!

(oh, if you are looking for my book site - I’ve managed to screw that up too…ugh!)
