Doh! Did it again!

I forgot to check the amount of webspace available for a multi-user blog before upgrading it and the thing has crashed.  I had to backtrack to find out what I did when a similar incident happened earlier in the year.  And then I remembered.  I had to get it restored to a former backed up version by my IT guy and then add webspace and then upgrade the thing.  Forgot, forgot, forgot!

So hoping he can fix it for me soon so I can increase the space and then re-run the upgrade.  Doh!

Blog or post?

You are viewing a blog – a series of articles or posts that make up the blog.  This particular piece you are reading is a post or blogpost.

One of my pet peeves, although only little, is people who ask about writing blogs when they actually mean posts or articles.

It’s just a little thing but I feel it important to educate people – a blog is a collective of posts, thoughts, articles, entries, whatever but the individual items are the blog posts – not the blog.

What do you think? Blog or post?

The Joys of Tweaking Templates

Many of you know that I’ve renewed my passion for photography and have set up a new site and template to display my photos but there are a few things that just won’t work the way I want it to.  Enter the blog forums – great avenue for learning from others who have a bit more experience than you – or me!

I belong to two active blog forums which I find very worthwhile being a member of.  I am able to offer assistance and provide answers and I’m also able to ask questions and learn from others.  Great way to network and learn about blogging too.

So, if you have challenges tweaking a template or not understanding something else, why not drop by a bloggers forum and participate and learn?

Do you blog or would like to?

I’m looking for questions that ‘newbies’ would ask about blogging. Things like what is it, how do you do it, how does it work, why?, etc.

If you haven’t yet entered the blogosphere, or are relatively new to it and looking to learn more, what are the things you would like to know?

Or, if you’ve been blogging for awhile but there are things you still can’t work out or always wondered about.

Please either leave your questions here or if you feel a little embarrassed about asking, feel free to send a message to me direct. Your questions will assist in a presentation I’m doing next month – having been a blogger for a few years now there will be things I take for granted that others do not know.

Thank you in advance.
