And to think I’d been a programmer…
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!)
