Cannot access my own blog.

    Following the advice of someone to fix my CSS issues I changed both addresses of the website in the configuration page to my IP address(70.30.247.145) and it fixed the problem. Now everyone can see my blog correctly, but now I’m the one locked out of my blog. I can only access the front page, CSS is out and I can’t log in to revert the changes.

    I know of course than I will never be able to access my own public-IP address from my computer, so how can I fix both problems at once ?

    Hm, sorry about that. You’ll have to access your WordPress database via phpMyAdmin and manually change the siteurl and home values to localhost

    Of course, this will prevent others from seeing it, as the referenced files (CSS, images, etc.) don’t exist on their localhost.

    I’m sure there must be a way that you could view your own localhost from a public IP, but I’m not aware of any. I suppose you could map a domain to your localhost instead.

    I’ll explore that, I wonder how people are doing it. I can manipulate my blog to an extent by using Vidalia to create a proxy and from there go to my IP address so its bearable, just slow as hell. I’ll ask around ^.^ Thanks about that tip for changing the values back. I’ll play with that.

    Most of the similar cases that I’ve read around here setup DNS records on their local server and actually point their final product domain name to it. When they’re done, they transfer the files to their hosting account and change the domain’s name servers to reflect the move.
