Need help with WordPress? - WPReality can help!

I did.

I really, really needed help.

I needed help long before I accidentally deleted my WordPress content on Sunday afternoon. I have had the blog since New Years Eve in 2006 but this WordPress.org thing does not come easy for me...

It is ugly... It does not have plug-ins. I have read WordPress for Dummies as if Lisa Sabin-Wilson was talking directly to me.

I read all of Cheryl Johnson's helpful posts in the WordPress group on ActiveRain.... and reread them...

I think it is a mixture of a mental block, not really being techy and sheer terror that keeps me from getting WordPress.org

The sheer terror shoulda kept me from doing what I did on Sunday but this time it did not...

The ActiveRain WordPress group

What you woulda seen if you'd looked at my blog on Sunday or Monday or up to about 5:00 on Tuesday was a blog with one post... the default welcome post...

Oh I went in and changed it just a bit, saying something like "ooopsie" what I really said was a bit stronger....

I started the WordPress.org Group on ActiveRain. Jay McGillicuddy must have featured the Burke's post about WPReality because I certainly did NOT remember featuring their post but it has a star.

I spent part of Sunday (the part after I cried) and lots of Monday looking for help to get my WordPress.org blog's content back up. I looked for a contact that I vaguely remembered from Twitter. I sent out a muffled cry for help via Twitter on Sunday night. I never looked in the ActiveRain WordPress group on Sunday or Monday for some reason.... I admitted my error publicly on ActiveRain on Monday evening in a Reblog of Jeff Corbett's post about the terms of service of various social media in comparison to ActiveRain's TOS.

I found the Burke's post Tuesday and contacted Sean and my blog was recovered before the Mardi Gras Party....

My blog, ColumbusBestBlog.com is still butt ugly but MY content is back up...

Thanks for the tip! Wordpress is alot more overwhelming than Active Rain. I need a class on WP

I have wanted to take a class for ever. I really, really became aware of WordPress because of someone who teaches a class on it in Dayton. Teri Lussier took his class. I think he is a jerk.

I am going to Word Camp... I will be the "drooling idiot" who can not follow what people are talking about but I am going...

Shucks. I don't believe that your Wordpress blog is ugly. It beats mine, that's for sure. But, they do the job.

What I fould amazing is that you started blogging on that wordpress blog back in 1969.

December 1969

I can't 100% remember why the 1969 thing... it has to do with trying to import the original blog on RealTown to my WordPress blog which did not work...

It is so odd it is 1969... I can't bring myself to remove that...

Thanks for the kind words.

Mo, so glad you are back up and now have a WP guru. So, yeah, not an exciting looking blog, but who am I to talk. You have great content and that is more important. Now if you can look cool, too, that's a plus...

The content is the important thing... you were there on Twitter when I first mentioned it.

I was in shock after I did it.

I very rarely visit AR. I do stop by the WP group every once in a while and I wish you had called me or sent me an email. I'll keep an eye out for you from now on. If my memory serves me right I think it was you who got me interested in WP in the first place back in late '06 or early '07. Back when they had version 2.2.1 or something close to that. I feel bad I couldn't help. I had you in my feed reader but I lost all my feeds when I had to re-format my hardrive.

Jay I thought about calling you, or Mark Fleming who helped you in the past but I really, really needed to hire someone to do this and more.

Maureen, I keep hearing about this Wordpress thing, but not sure at all how it works. Now you really have me scared. I will continue to try and learn as much as I can to see if I can get it to work for me someday.

don't be scared Troy... I am just the dumbest dummy when it comes to WordPress.org I will be terrified to update to the latest version of course from now on.

All the big boys in RE blogging have 'em (WordPress.org blogs)

I believe most all the blogs you see sold by the companies that sell blogs to real estate agents are built on a WordPress.org blog (Tomato, RSS Pieces, Dakno, etc.) are souped up WP.org blogs. The puppies sold by BHB are on the WordPress MU I believe.

Jim Lee recommended someone who he's got help from in the past too when I tweeted that Sean got it back up for me.

Cheryl Johnson who blogs on a Typepad blog has done a lot of tutorials on WP.org in the WP blog.
