Installing WordPress on Your Computer
Just a couple of quick notes about installing WordPress on your local machine as I did in my previous post. Don’t try to change the name of your blog folder after installing it. You will really mess things up and, if you are like me, have to start all over again. It’s much harder the [...]
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 [...]
