Overhaul

We Jorma tried rerouting the cname dohiggies as the blogger tutorial told us to. Did not work. I called the hosting company and they tried something from their end. Did not work. My hope was to temporarily fix the missing images problem. Long enough to move into Wordpress so I could avoid relinking all of the images in the blog. Did not work. It looks like now I'm stuck relinking all of my images manually, but at least I'm not relinking AND copying and pasting all of my files from my HTML back up, recatagorizing and redating everything. That would suck so much worse.
I moved over to WordPress because I'm mad at Blogger. And because I wanted to have more control over my site. The only problem with this is that I was so desperate to get away from blogger and try to reclaim the blog that I jumped into WP without having any idea how it works. Sink or swim, baby.
I have wordpress questions. Most of them I am figuring out as I go along, but I think the answer to a lot of them is going to be something that I'm not going to like. Something like learn CSS and edit the files manually. In all my spare time.
Seriously, this application has spellcheck for 12 different languages but I can't change my font unless I edit the CSS? That can't be right. And what's up with the little Mystery Man icon next to all of my posts? I don't need that because I'm the sole author and I can't find the place that has the little check box to remove it. Shouldn't there be one? Granted I've only been at this for two days and am trying to work on it during preschool hours and while the kids are sleeping. I don't think the learning curve is really that steep, but it's still daunting to say the least.
Hopefully, I'll be gracing you all with my snarky commentary soon.
