Early last year, or maybe it was the year before, I had the idea to update our website.
You may remember that it didn’t go well, and our website was a bit of a mess for a while.
A lot has happened since then, but just recently, that old annoyance has made another appearance. You see, after those Happiness Engineers got us up and running again, I have never been completely happy with the result.
I have often thought about having another go, but I have been rather distracted of late. Maybe because I am feeling a little more determined these days, I find myself wanting to right a few wrongs.
Trouble is, to make changes on WP, you have to know about those pesky blocks and what to do with them. Which is where I have more than a problem.
YouTube wasn’t much help in that department, so I ended up Googling it. I found an article on the subject, and a book that promised success. I tell you, all this learning is like being back at school.
Progress ?
So far I have successfully altered the site menu, something I have been wanting to do for a long time. This gave me hope for the rest of the changes I want to make. Although, what followed was a depressing amount of time making a pigs ear out of everything. I almost gave up and vowed to ditch the website, as the harder I tried, the worse everything seemed to get. I did mention that I am not technically brilliant, didn’t I?
I though changing the theme would work, for I swear the current one is determined to drive me crazy. Considering what happened last time, I decided not to bother.
That’s when it all fell to pieces. Things stopped working and I couldn’t figure out if it was my fault or not, so I tried to get a conversation with those HE’s.
After a very long session, it turned out to be some kind of bug, which they fixed in no time. I was back with all the original problems, some of which I had made considerably worse. (As you might have noticed already)
Armed with more notes from Google, I am confidently going to tackle one thing at a time. Hopefully, my next post will have better news…
