WOW

I GOT IT TO WORK! 12 Firefox tabs and at least four or five different forums, plus tons of time spent trying to get it to work on my own Apache server with no luck (although I did finally get php to connect to MySQL on my machine, so that was a major unrelated breakthrough), and then Google threw me onto a page with good instructions on how to set up databases and stuff on Dreamhost, which happens to be where my website is hosted. And after reading so much about the wordpress installation and going over the config settings time and again, it all started fitting together, and fifteen minutes later, I have a wordpress blog set up on my domain…which is what I wanted to do two weeks ago and gave up in frustration. See, I knew with enough determination I could do it. Now I just have to see if I can figure out how to install and customize layout themes to see if I want to make this my primary blog…

    Very impressive, Jandy! I wish I had learned how to use that stuff earlier (I still haven’t!).

    Hey, I’m impressed you found it already! I’ve been working on and off all day getting stuff imported from blogger and tidy it up…haven’t told anyone about it yet but Dad!

    It wasn’t really that hard once I figured out what I had to do. It’s the old “anyone can turn the screw, but not everyone knows which screw to turn” situation.

    Congrats on getting it to work. Now why am I not part of the church family list? Sniff, sniff, walking away sad.

    Bobber, my bad. I haven’t updated my links since I first added them to blogspot, and I didn’t have your URL then. Fixed now!
