In reply to: What comes before??I am starting to calm down a little bit. It is just very difficult for a novice. I made progress by adding some of my personal information……my blog title is still “Poetic Rose” which is none to pleasing but I will keep trying.
Thank you.
P.S. Root, this is reality for someone who is used to the simplicity of something like blogger. Perhaps WP is better in the long run, but it is a rude awakening for someone like me. Even the words “CHMOD” and “666” and “FTP” are words or initials that I have never, ever needed to know about until coming over to “WP”.
It is a lot like me describing my dental instruments for certain tooth numbers………..Gracey 12/14 on the distal of number 28.
Have you ever heard of that before? Have you ever needed to know that before? Do you care? Is it a pain to have to learn it?

In reply to: What comes before??Word Press is too complicated.
I am just pissed that I have wasted so much time trying to figure this crap out.
WP is far from “user friendly” or “easy anything” – the only thing they have going for them is a nice and friendly support group but “that does not a good blog make”.

I am going back to blogger.
This is what my site looks like now: http://www.myeggsarecooked.wired-hub.com
It is just way too complicated over here.
Thank you again for trying so hard.

In reply to: What comes before??Thank you everyone.
Here is the problem. Forgive me for being so frank.
This is my original blog: http://myeggsarecooked.blogspot.com
It was so simple. I just filled in the blanks of the what about me and it appeared. Now, granted, I did just get someone to make me beautiful over there, but before that, it was so easy.
I won a year of hosting and web design and blogger servers have been so incredibly SLOW, that I decided to make the move.
I have been fighting this for three days now.
I won a free web design but they will not be able to get to me until the end of April, so , stupid me, thought I could get this up and running and then it could be made prettier later.
I am forced to just leave myself on blogger until I get this worked out.
Thank you for trying to help.
It is just SOOOO much more difficult that my previous experience. I think WordPress needs to look into making it more moron friendly.

In reply to: What comes before??“If this file was writable you could edit it.”
This is what I get on the bottom of my themes editor page.
This is what it should say:
“If you are a moron, you need to quit now and pay someone to add your personal information on your blog”

In reply to: What comes before??Thank you for your humour moshu.
I am just so completely frustrated.

In reply to: What comes before??Obviously, WAY over my head. How in the world do they claim that all of this is so simple???
I’m a dental hygienist for God’s sake. It’s like telling someone ” just use 11/14 Gracey on the distal of number 19″. Go ahead, just do it. If that doesn’t work, perhaps you will like a universal 7/8 but only use the toe of the blade.

In reply to: What comes before??For instance, if I go to themes and then themes editor, it shows a variety of things.
“Browsing wp-content/themes/default/style.css”
is at the topI have tried to make changes there, on that page but they don’t appear and only get cleared away.

In reply to: What comes before??Hi moshu. I am trying to put my personal information on my templates.
For my rose template, this is what the author says:
If you have WordPress 1.5, simply unzip the archive, maintaining folder
> structure, into your wp-content/themes/ directory. Then login to your admin
> panel, click “Presentation” and select Poetic Rose from your list of
> available themes.
>
> To customize:
>
> To make this template your own, simply open up the sidebar.php file. The
> fields between the <center> and </center> tags are available to edit at your
> will. For instance: find this section of the file
>
>
<div class=”aboutme”>a</div>
> <center>Replace this with information about yourself<br>
> Such as: where you are, who you are, etc.</center>For my boring default template, it also says to add/change information, files can be found in : wp-content/themes/default
Obviously, something must come before that? wp-content……. on it’s own, gets me nowhere.

In reply to: I cannot UploadThank you so much. I will keep trying.
Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: I cannot UploadOkay, clearly I need to be computer savvy then. What is “FTP client” and I have no idea where “themes/rose or whatever” would even be located.
I should have know that it wouldn’t be as simple as unzip and install.
Thank you for trying to help.
