Those Beautiful Blogs that we spend so much time on are really nice when they work. I don't know about you, but after I got my beautiful blog I wanted to write things, put pictures on there, and let everyone know they could come visit me.  Isn't that what we do?  So what went wrong?

What went wrong is a little bit of knowledge is a dangerous thing.  Always has been, look at  some of our clients that purport to know how to sell Real Estate cuz they read a book, or watched a show on TV.  Well, that's exactly what happened to my blog.  I read something about permalinks or something, and changed something on my admin section thinking I was doing a good thing.  Never thought about it again, until today when I was told that all my internal links (ie: click her to read this Post), didn't work.

What a fiasco.  Jay McGillicuddy  had been kind enough to offer to upload a WP Plug-in for me, and after a few times of giving him the wrong password, he finally got into the admin panel.  OK, so I thought all was good, wrong !

It turned out that my sidebar was all messed up, and Jay needed to go to where ever the FTP files are located.  By now I am thinking marti (he built my site) is going to kill me for messing up my site, even though I had no idea at all what happened.  And of course  the FTP location was a complete mystery anyway.  So now instead of my nifty new Foreclosure Form, I had a messed up site.

Help marti......yes once again, I had messed up my blog and not even known it.  I sent marti an email, and he told me to ask what the person that went in there might have done.  Jay wrote back that it was like that when he went in there.....so I passed this info along.  Oh no, now what, and I just knew that marti was going to be irritated that this "untechy" person  (me) messed up his nice blog...... LOL :)  He wasn't but I felt like a little kid that got caught with her hand in the cookie jar.

Well, marti found the problem (I knew he would) and boy do I feel dumb.  I had read something about permalinks and changed a setting to what I thought would be good for my site;  and apparently that messed up my blog; the internal part.  I didn't know it because I don't go to my own site and click to read stuff......:)

So long story short....I messed up my own Blog by trying to do something on my own without knowing what I was doing.  I am extremely thankful that marti has the best communication of anyone I know, and went in and found the problem only hours after I sent my email.  I just love marti. I also want to apologize to you Jay, as I just get scared when it comes to this stuff :)

Thank you marti and Jay....

I promise to stay away from what I don't know .....at least until the next thing I read :)
