I am getting along really well with Wordpress. Last week I knew nothing about it. This morning I got the permissions issues sorted, at least enough so the blog works. Now I am successfully posting content. I give Wordpress top marks as I cannot think of a bad thing to say about it. It is supported by some of the best documentation I have ever read and seems intuitive even to someone who had to look up quite a bit of the jargon. It really seems like a great product. Thanks Wordpress.

Down the road unifying the theme with my website design will be a learning experience. I think I came across some of the documentation already so that looks hopeful.

So far, so good.

This is my first real post. If I don’t accidentally set fire to my Wordpress directory in some metaphorical way then it might remain here. Today I have solved the mystery of .htaccess files. Well to be honest I can’t say that I understand them exactly. They seem to be a list of security exceptions. What I can say is the one in my Wordpress directory is not causing any problems and I seem to have enabled “Pretty Permalinks.” Now I am going to try to figure out catagories.
