Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: Initial InstallationI decided there is too much risk to my doing the upgrade. Too steep a learning curve, not enough time to learn it. My email is ralphpars@gmail.com Thanks, Ralph
Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: Initial InstallationWell I found the email with my login info for CPanel and was able to get into it. Now I can go back and look at the video and take notes. Your right about learning new stuff. I hope that it isn’t true what they say about old dogs and new tricks.

In reply to: Initial InstallationI really don’t have time to be a code jock, I am trying to make some money on the internet but they are making me jump over a lot of hurdles. I guess it is the price you have to pay. If I can pay someone a reasonable fee to do this I will. Thanks for the advice.
Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: Initial InstallationThe way I understand this is that after you get to WP 2.7 the updates are mostly automatic. The problem is getting that far. I looked at the video recommended by Figero and it is using CPanel which I don’t have. I did download an FTP program but I can’t log into my WP Site on port 21 with my credentials. I don’t blame WP as FTP port are vunerable but there should be a work around.
Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: Initial InstallationWell I guess I just don’t understand WordPress. I get the impression that it is an application to edit webpages. It runs on someone’s server. I don’t have a server. I have a webpage on a server that has WordPress installed on it for use by the webpage owner (Me). The version that I am using is 2.5 and it keeps bugging me to upgrade but who ever wrote up the instructions keeps bouncing back and forth between installing and upgrading the server and what I can use. It is pretty confusing. I don’t imagine that I would have that level of access to the server anyway. Please let me know what my options are and where I can get the information. Thanks, Ralph
