And here we go
The snags have been unsnagged and I have it (sorta) all setup. So go.
I’ll leave this one up for a month or so and then set it to private. Please don’t use our real names over there since the whole point in non-search-ability. Thanks a bunches.
I love tech support!
My site works! Finally! I haven’t posted anything though and there is no blog design or anything. I’ll probably just pick some generic something for now and upgrade later. It’s not ready for anyone yet and I need help (one more time).
Since the whole plan is for it to be annonymous, I need names. I figure Eliana will be Smushy since that’s what we call her all the time anyway. I don’t have anything for myself or Tony though. I need suggestions. I wish I were creative enough to come up with something on my own, but I have never been very creative. I’m just going to have to accept that and rely on your creativity. I was thinking of going with names that have something to do with “silly” or even just maybe something that hits on our personality. I was going to call Tony Mr. Perfect since he is such a perfectionist (seriously the most annoying quality to live with), but it makes me think of wrestling. Told you I wasn’t creative. I’m not a fan of the initial thing since I can never keep who is who straight and whatnot hither therefore.
Anyone? Please?
I have no idea what I’m doing
I have a habit of starting something new and abandoning it 5 minutes after investing a bunch of money into it. Tony points this out constantly. Let’s see, there was stamping, knitting, crocheting, glass painting, sewing. The list goes on and on.
When I was pregnant, I starting blogging on my myspace. I know, I’m like so totally cool. I figured it would be like every other thing I start and I would quit in a month. Then a year went by. I decided if I was still blogging when I hit a year of non-myspace blogging, I would buy my own domain and find a host and all that. And 7 months after that, I finally went through with it.
I think the biggest reason I decided to make the switch was so I can go annonymous. Not like I won’t tell you where it is or anything. I just don’t want to use our real names anymore. I don’t even care if you hear them in a video. I just don’t want my blog to show up on a search for our names. It’s not for me or Tony really. It’s because kids are cruel and google is powerful. I don’t want some bratty teenager searching Eliana’s name and finding pooping stories (or a video, ahem) and I don’t want her teenage self to have to deal with that. So after I make the switch, I will leave this here for a month-ish and then set it to private.
Except I apparently don’t know what I’m doing. I can not for the life of me figure out how to get wordpress to work or maybe my host is broken or the site I bought the domain name from OMG kill me now. I’ve already paid for a year. And time is ticking. And I am just as lost as I was 2 weeks ago when I started. And if you want to help me I WILL LET YOU. I’m going to keep trying and I’ll let you know when I have it figured out.
(I know it is ironic that I say I’m consistently blogging after having not blogged for a week, but my laptop has been away at the fix-it place. Still under warranty. Go me! But it’s back now and I promise I will be a better blogger.)
