Also known as “Sarcasm and Fun with FTP” (Frustrating Transfer Protocol)
Well looks like the site is updated now. I was a little bit worried with how many times I had to recopy the entire directory. But eventually it all copied over without corrupting or dropping files, updated the database, and I don’t think there are any bugs… yet. And it seems I updated just in time, as version 2.7 of wordpress should be out soon.

This guide got me through this morning, and the instructions are fairly clear (I like coding, but I can be a real meathead at it).
The design part of web design is fascinating. For me, I’ve always been frustrated with it because I kept thinking I was doing it wrong. I’ve since learned that there are many styles and methods for design. Much as there are certain tools we use to make it easier for users or improve interface, these are building blocks that we as designers use to build our sites.
Knowing this has allowed me to approach design with a new confidence and focus. I’m playing with some ideas for a project I’m working on (A self help website for artists!), but I’m trying to avoid my desire to stick in cool things and really focus on having a clear and concise design to portray the information. While I’m at it, I want to come up with a new style for this blog, so I’m slowly picking my way into php and css.
EDIT: I originally wrote this as a “Page” on the site, much to my terror when I thought it had randomly deleted all my posts. It seems silly now that I’ve cleared it up on my end.
EDIT 2: And I have just noticed my twitter feeds are gone. Off to find the solution!
EDIT 3: And I can’t for the life of me remember the name of that other twitter, or what email I used for it.
