    Ugh, I Wish I Could…

    by  • November 14, 2010 • Blogging

    I really need to learn how to make my own WordPress themes. I wish I could so that I wouldn’t have to depend on premades. I am reverting back to a premade I used a couple of years ago. I know it’s been that long because the author section in my sidebar still said I was 24 years old. I hate that I have to use premade themes, because I always find something wrong with them. I happened to find one I really liked today, but after uploading and activating it, there was a fatal error that prevented me from seeing the WP admin. I have no clue what happened, but I had no other choice than to log into my cPanel and delete it.

    The problem I have as far as making my own themes is that I cannot teach myself. It’s weird, since I’m going to college to be a teacher *cough*wheneverIstartback*cough*, yet I don’t have the patience to teach myself new concepts. I have read many different WP, CSS, and PHP tutorials online since I started using WP in June 2007, and I am still no closer to making my own themes as I was in the beginning. If anyone knows a VERY simple and easy tutorial that will take me by the hand and walk me through creating me own, please let me know!

    And Theres Another Failure…

    Well, I managed to completely forget about blogging last night. I have no excuse, really, because I was home and had plenty of time to get it done. Ugh, this frustrates me to no end. It’s my 3rd time trying to blog for 30 days straight, and my third unsuccessful try. Things like this make me want to go and delete my entire website from my cPanel. A bit extreme? Probably…I just don’t understand why I cannot remember to do something every day for such a short period of time!

    I have nothing else to say tonight…maybe I’ll pick up with Project Blog tomorrow.

    Took Me Long Enough…

    I switched hosts back in February when I heard about a great deal Surpass Hosting was having. My HostGator service was great, but a monthly fee was not cool. Even though I purchased the new hosting around Valentine’s Day, it was at the end of March before I got up the nerve to move all the blogs I maintain. I have never moved from one host to the other with so many blogs ( 2 of which are not mine), and I was so afraid I was going to mess things up.

    I finally took the leap and got everything moved over. I set up my mom and James’ blog the first day, but my writing blog and this one have been on the back burner. I finally sat down tonight and got everything working right again. The theme is back and the plugins have been installed (with the exception to FlickrRSS, because I just realized I haven’t activated and set it up yet!) I have been so very bad at blogging lately, but I just haven’t wanted to update, or take the time to fix the blog all back up. I’m back now though, so expect some ramblings from me every now and again!
