Starting on WordPress and the joys of HTML
We have quite the assignment due on October 8th which requires us to create a faux library website using WordPress. I have spent the better part of the week reading articles on WordPress. I even pulled out my HTML 4 for Dummies book I purchased eons ago when I first considered creating my own website. Today I actually took the plunge (well sort of) and set up my account using the link to byethost.com. That process alone turned into a few hours of my swearing at the computer gods as repeated attempts to actually log into my newly created account failed. I was dammed sure I was using the correct password you see. In a moment of lucidity I went back to the original confirmation e-mail. Yep, I had been entering the password I thought I had created wrong. Funny how a single letter or digit can muck the entire thing up. Now sitting here at almost eleven in the evening, (well past this old man's bed time) I am making progress of a sort. I have successfully created a paragraph using HTML. I feel like a god!Anyway, tomorrow I have a my other job I need to do so I will not make much more progress at this for now. October 8 hangs like a Sword of Damocles, but the show must go on. You see I have a side business drawing caricatures and I have a gig in the Greensboro, NC area. On the plus side I might be able to work in a side trip to meet with my professor, who also happens to be my adviser, and talk to him about independent studies. I am sure I have many late night ahead of me this coming week as I traverse the mysteries of HTML coding and the thing that is WordPress.
Later,
Kim
Oh and here is a sample of my caricature work and the link to my webpage. (Created using Google Sites and not WordPress!)
A self portrait from when I had more hair. :)
It is great to hear that you are progressing with creating a WordPress webpage. What did you design with HTML code? I am new to webpage design also and have just set up the template for my fake library webpage. Good Luck!
ReplyDeleteEllen, I only made the phrase "this is a paragraph." Baby steps you know, just baby steps. Anyway I will be putting the old nose to the grind wheel this week. I still to come up with my faux library and it has to be something...well, odd. I know I make way too much work for myself sometimes. :)
