it only took a year
Saturday, July 19th, 2008I have finally figured out how to get rid of this hideous template and get a new one straight from Wordpress. This one is a WP template but it’s part of my hosting package’s “free” offerings and it’s not customizable. They offer other templates in the package, all of which are equally hideous. If I want to use a regular WP template, it is necessary to stop using the package version and FTP all the regular WP files to the server and then install another theme. It takes longer than it sounds like it might. Wordpress claims they have a “famous 5-minute install”; well sorry but I am very, very comfortable with computers and software and can learn practically any program in a few hours, and this “easy” install can only take 5 minutes for someone who already knows coding and server-side configuration extremely well.
I’ve been working on another domain (to which I’m going to be migrating all my business-related photography and portfolio) and once that’s finished I’ll move this one to a new format. I just have to make sure I don’t lose any content that’s already here.
Might take another year for that. Check back in mid-2009!
