I have never claimed to be an expert with Word Press and I freely admit my ineptitude when it comes to making plug-ins work properly. I decided to install a Top Commentators Widget. I thought, okay no problem and did so, until I determined on IE 7 my page looked like a 1st Graders art class. I just finished installing the plug-in again for the 18th time or so it seems. After much aggravation and self inflicted anxiety I finally got the Tops Commentator widget to work with this theme. For now it will be reset monthly but that could change. It is set to allow links to your site and is my way of saying thanks for posting your comments.This simple project took me a little over 2 hours over 2 days. The new book that was just published Word Press for Dummies needs to have a follow-up, called Word Press for Don.
I suppose that why I’m investing in a custom designed site by Reality Hosting. I just don’t have the time to learn and I may indeed be past the learning curve in this life. Now if someone could help me with the Related Post Plug-in working. This concludes this rant and venting session. I feel better now thanks for listening.
