Wow. Frumph, it sounds like you’re EXACTLY the person I need to be talking to.

Disregarding the second thing you said for one moment—
As I said in the first post, unfortunately I’m very new to this stuff and don’t know a lot of the basic things many others take for granted. So forgive me if I’m asking questions that amount to “What color is the sky?”

I can’t find the directories you name—comics, comics archive, comics rss or comics mini anywhere in the GoDaddy FTP. I know where they’re mentioned on WordPress itself, in the “ComicPress Manager,” but I can’t find them in GoDaddy. I’ve looked everywhere, including the “comicpress” and “comicpress manager” folders under wp-content. However, my ignorance is showing when I say I don’t know what the “root installation” of WordPress is. If you mean something along the lines of what I think you might mean, I did not download WordPress myself—my GoDaddy purchase was the kind of setup where they install it for you. If that makes a difference in terms of what you were saying, let me know.

Regarding the other thing—-possibly using Comic Easel instead. Well, THERE’s a curveball. Can you explain to a dummy how he would go about doing that if he chose that path? I went to the links you provided, and I have a feeling that with MY kind of luck (and inexperience), I wouldn’t know what I’m doing in trying to download it and apply it to WordPress.

Thanks for your time—-I really, really appreciate it, because this has been incredibly frustrating. It’s hard when you don’t know what you’re doing, and you’ve spend weeks trying to find someone who can help.

I had been. First it was formatted like Name xx-xx-xxxx (the x’s were the numbers in the date), then I tried getting rid of the Name and the hyphens, then I tried putting back the Name and getting rid of the hyphens and spaces. Nothing worked. And all the names had the .jpg extension, too. This is really driving me crazy. What does it want from me?!
