WordPress Woes

[jmward14]

I have reached the point in the operation where my developing site, jeanmarieward.com, has crashed.  Nose in the dirt, flames, debris strewn across three counties--you name it, it's there.  The problem: I followed the directions in the WordPress Codex to set a blog in the middle of the pages.  Not only were the instructions obscure beyond the dreams of bureaucratic obsfuscation, they made very little sense in the context of WordPress 2.7.1's control panel.  I should've taken that as a sign.  But noooooo.  I had to soldier on.  I've got a deadline.
Fortunately, the spouse person insisted I back-up before I started.  Unfortunately, reloading hasn't fixed anything.  *headdesk*headdesk*headdesk*
Oh well, I've opened a service ticket with Bravenet, my web host.  Hopefully, they can save my bacon again, or at least reload WordPress so I can start over.
This is so not how I planned to waste the evening.  *user shakes head*

This has nothing to do with your computer woes (for which I have nothing but sympathy!) but have you read/seen Inkheart?

I asked because your little ferrit icon reminded me of the horned martin character. (If you haven't the movie is fun and the book is really good.)

Not yet, but it looks like a lot of fun. I'm hoping to catch it when it makes the rounds at the local Cinema & Draft House theater. Hugs and smiles, Jean Marie *typing less than usual because I'm typing with a 15 pound cat on my arm--Duzie takes his writer's cat duties soooo seriously*

That sucks. Sorry, kiddo. ~sends chocolate and expensive bottle of MacAllan~

Oooh, the only thing better would be if you were here to share the chocolate and MacAllan. Thank you {{{{grace_draven}}}}. This too shall be resolved...whenever Bravenet gets back to me. Meanwhile, there's this scene in a short story I've been putting off writing, because February is the month to get everything except fiction done. Big hugs and thanks again, Jean Marie
