I’m having flashbacks back to when I created my website without any experience or history with that sort of thing. I ultimately did it, but it took many hours and days of frustrating dead ends and wrong turns to get there. I don’t want to use one of the easy, straight-out-of-the-can blog templates (that would be too easy!); I want to tweak it to create a look that somewhat matches my website in color, layout, fonts, etc. After much fumbling around in unknown territory, I ordered “Word Press for Dummies” from Amazon. I hope it helps!

I sort of belly-flopped into the blogging pool. One of things I want to offer on my blog is a blog roll. Apparently, this is not something that just happens. A widget is required so the template selected must be “widget ready”. AAAACK! I also had a pingback notice….huh? So, I’ve spent too much of today delving into this new (for me) language.
I got frustrated and decided to start fresh so I deleted the previous blog, which had about 3 or so entries. I thought I would go back to the Yahoo! 360 blog or a Movable Type blog; however, the same problem of figuring out how to attach a blog roll popped up so I went back to Word Press.
Grrrrrr………
