I really wanted to nap this afternoon after work because I wanted to be well rested before eating a veritable mountain of sushi. But no napping for (un)Reasonable Girl. Instead, I spent an hour and a half installing Filezilla, reading back up documentation on setting up my FTP protocol, and finally mastering the proper way to install certain WordPress plugins. This opens me up to a veritable world of plugin possibilities. Theoretically, from now on, I can customize my site up and down the Wazoo. (Meet me at the Wazoo spawning grounds, in the lobby of the WordPress plugin labyrinth.) It also reminded me that I haven’t read the documentation for either my web host or WordPress. It is, dear reader, as if I am in denial about my new technical responsibilities, and they are legion! Anyway, wish me luck. I have every intention of adding an email notification function for new blog posts in the near future. Never in my wildest dreams did I suppose I would one day become a webmaster. Any other features you like on other blogs that you’d like to see me implement? Comment away, dear readers, I’m all ears. and fingers. and sushi.

You certainly jumped in the deep end. WordPress seems very flexible, powerful and a bit complicated. I recently started blogging my techie adventures using tumblr and I was a little disappointed by the lack of features. (No commenting! I had to install disqus integration) Anyway, it looks like its working nicely.
I guess I didn’t know to recognize the deep end before I jumped!
