So I’m planning on moving the blog. And thinking about doing a lot of things. In the process, I am running smack into one simple and undeniable fact–I don’t really know much of anything. Upload to my FTP? I can do that. Edit CSS? If you tell me exactly what to do. Remember what a domain is, and a DNS, and figure out what I need to do to get seven years of blog moved?
Nope. My internet-workings foundation makes Swiss cheese look solid.
I got WordPress for Dummies from the library, and when that wasn’t enough, I got PHP and MySQL for Dummies too. Still not enough–they are too specific. But when I scoot about the internet trying to fill in the holes in my learning, it’s too confused. What I’m learning doesn’t stick. You try teaching yourself something when you have to run off to find the definition of every third word, and those definitions contain more words that you don’t know.
I have so much to do right now. Why can’t someone just pour this all into my brain?
Y’know, I have a few site migrations under my belt. If you need a hand, or have a question, my virtual door’s always open.
If in doubt, jump in and learn by trial and error… if you don’t mind all the mess that ensues. D: D: D:
Good luck!
@Dusty Yeah, that’s my preferred method, but I don’t want to break it when I’d have to get help to fix it! Especially when they could just say “well, you’re not covered for stupidity, so fix it yourself.”
@scribbles Thanks, o awesome one! I am still trying to figure out if my domain is registered or just there or what, but when I figure out which way is up (and what questions to ask!) I will remember your kind offer!
