Aggrevation
By skeet | April 2, 2007
I’ve had Skeet Shops up for over a week now. My WordPress edit functions are still all screwball. I’m enough of a novice to WP that I’ve really thought that I was doing something wrong, and I’ve tried to the point of tears and pulling out hair to get things straightened out. If I’m going to run a few blogs with WP, I really need to learn how to do things for myself, so I’ve been stumbling around in my admin panel trying to see what in here looks different from the way things are at my other blog. I have managed to learn a few things, so the time has not been entirely wasted. I only moved Stuff to WP a month and a half ago, so there are things I’m finding out that I hadn’t needed to know over there yet. But today I’ve come to the conclusion that something is wrong with either the template or the version of WP that I downloaded here at Shops. I can only write posts in the “visual” mode, which means that my links are totally screwed up. I can’t upload pictures at all. When I try I get little empty boxes with red Xs in the corner. Today I’ve got a big panicky knot in my throat and my head is aching hellaciously. It’s time to call in reinforcements. I’m going to hate feeling like a complete idiot when I find out that it’s some little, simple thing that “everyone knows,” but I’ll just have to face that. I want to introduce Skeet Shops to the world and start building up some readers and blogroll links, but it’s too much of a mess right now to do that. Tonight I’ll see if I can get my most helpful friend on IM and see if she can help me.
Right now I think I’ll wash down some Tylenol and take a nap.
