Easily Install WordPress on Local Machine
Just when you know something is going to harder than a grave digger’s heart, it turns out to be super easy. I installed WordPress on my local machine easier than on my website. Mainly because I didn’t have to upgrade it after the install. I remembered way back when I had a nifty program called [...]
Customizing a Theme
Customising a theme, at least the theme I chose, is about as easy as I thought it’d be. Which is to say, omg, help! I’ve gotten a few things right. Did get a subscription box in the sidebar, for instance. I’ve messed up the majority. I’ve got the basic functions of WordPress so messed up [...]

I looked at 3,421 themes and loved hundreds of them before I stumbled across a plugin. So, the next thing I did was install Bad Behaviour, a plugin I thought I couldn’t live [...]
Just another WordPress Blog
Well, I’ve gone and done it. Other than a rather weak attempt over on Blogger.com, I really tried to resist “jumping on the blog wagon” for a long time. I’m not really one for “doing what everyone else is doing” on the Internet or anywhere else. This site was originally intended as a base for [...]
