Jess: *hugs* And curses, was all set to hit you up for tips…

MG: my problem is that I like to fiddle and be picky and make it look Just So. I’ve done some nice mods on the theme I picked, but getting it compatible with different screen resolutions etc are the bits I suck at. Have a plot to recruit some help, though, so once that’s done and I’ve cobbled together a bit more content, it should be good to go. But ta!

Ths secret to happy WordPress use for thickos – imo – is using a template which is widget-ready and actually works. Aside from that – so long as you are happy with FTP and know how to change permissions (chmod) – it’s easy. I had to change ONE thing in the css, which I did by hackery. Susie – if my v basic level is higher than yours, let me know and I’ll help if I can.

Well, am also conforming to gender stereotype by throwing in the towel with wordpress – it needs a mix of php and css knowledge I just don’t have, and definitely don’t have time to develop right now.

Am depressed, also by the fact that the two pieces of work I’m currently supposed to be doing are both now two weeks late. So that’s two weeks’ childcare with no paid work to show for it, and the deadlines haven’t moved. The joy of freelancing.

Hope you’re having better luck.

Angry Kid: that’s all right then! Thought maybe you were having a bloggy strop and declaring your resignation from the universe or something.

MG: yay! So glad you liked it. Tomorrow’s not good but let’s get together soon: I want to hear all about your superstar daughter…

Yay! Finished Big Woo and also really LOVED the end. No spoilerings here, so must meet up to tell you how clever you are.
