…hello WordPress! I doubt everyone will see this message, but I hope at least some do before the whole site’s in pieces. I only need a few more steps to get WordPress up and running. The next few are a bit scary though–moving WordPress from a directory to the root directory without screwing anything up. Wish me luck!
I took a deep breath and then tackled WordPress again. I figured out how to add the content in the side bar without screwing everything up like yesterday. I just copy/pasted everything from my old side bar into the new one and it actually worked. I was too busy moving things around last night–trying to “match” the order of everything that was already ther–that I somehow unaligned everything.
I’m feeling pretty good about this now. I fixed the smiley problem in the comments (thank you, Melissa, for pointing that out!) and a few other things here and there. Things I need to do:
– Either foward URL to WP directory or move everything (without screwing up) to the main directory.
– Remove Greymatter and other skins…I’m actually really sad about this :(.
– Once GM and skins are removed, pray that other pages will work with the new themes.
– Convert old GM archives into WP archives.
And that’s it. I hope. I think as long as I keep calm I’ll do alright LOL.
Heh, I gotta get used to these “Save” and “Publish” things!
So, after about an hour of breaking apart a theme I found on a themes site, I managed to understand the layout and installed the layout I made last night. I’ve customized it to my liking and am pretty happy with the results. I’ve got the themes switcher plugin installed. What I was in the middle of doing was fixing the side bar, but I seem to have hit a bump in the road since my right bar switched to the left side. Blah. I have my appointment tomorrow so I need to get to bed. This little problem will surely have me tossing and turning!
