Whoops!
Okay, so I almost broke my website. I thought that moving the blog function of my site to the main directory would be a lot more complicated. So after failing a couple sets of instructions laid out by WordPress, my site turned to shit. Thankfully, after re-installing it, I found out that it was really as easy as changing one setting and altering one line of code. Luckily I was able to restore the layout style and found back-ups of my previous entries as well. Now I just gotta re-add my sidebar links and I’m back to normal!
I’m learning that updating posts isn’t as simple as I’m used to for LiveJournal. I got a post editing client, but it doesn’t quite post things 100%. On the one hand, it messes up the “Posted by” link below the entry. On the other hand, the web-based editor built into WordPress auto-formats any code I enter into it, so it makes it hard for me to do things like embed YouTube videos. If I have to edit the post for any reason (like fixing the “Posted by” link) the code for the video is destroyed and I can’t insert it again without deleting the entry and reposting it. Maybe I’ll try another client that will do exactly what I need…
