Website Woes

January 7, 2007

Why, oh why did I ever want to tackle a website. Learning the code for blogger was hard enough. Now I got this website, with a host and a control panel that looks Greek to me. Guess I know now why the smart ones get a website designer. But alas, I’m a poor starving (well, from not quite) writer, with no book contracts to justify paying someone to do this.

So instead of going to sleep like I should, I try and understand such things as:

MySQL: I know it’s a database of some kind and someone told me you need it to set up a blog on a website, but other than that I’m clueless.

Addon and Subdomains: I think I know what they are, but how in the world do you get then where you want them.

And how do you get stuff on your website. My name isn’t functioning yet, but I installed WordPress and this fairly blank WordPress page comes up, but I don’t know what to do with it!

Can I be any more ignorant than I already am? I would have thought it had to be easier than this. So if anyone can offer any bit of information, I’ll all ears.

Otherwise I just might have to get some recommendations for a website designer!

From the day I received my first diary in the second grade, I've had a passion expressing myself through writing. Later as a journalist and novelist, I realized words, if used powerfully, have the ability to touch, stir, and reach from the depths of one soul to another. Today as a writing and health coach, I inspire others to live their extraordinary life and encourage them to share their unique stories.
