This is my first post created originally on my very own WordPress-based site, onecobble.com. I bought the domain name more than a month ago. Since then I have been slowly pulling it together so that it is the way I want it to be. It isn’t there yet. I still need to create custom image headers. Also my page links are all giving 404 errors despite the fact that I created pages. I figured out how to mirror posts over to Livejournal, but I have yet to get them to mirror to blogger and facebook. The idea behind this being that I post in one place and all my social media profiles get updated with no further effort from me.
Setting up the site has been a long slow adventure. I would get excited and get a pile of things done until I ran into a snag. Then I would lose all motivation and let the project sit idle for a week or two until I had the energy to problem solve again. Frequently I asked myself why I was bothering at all. Then I remember that I really do want to have blogging across social networks be simpler for me. I really do want my own domain name for the blogging I do.
So I’ve been plugging away and I’ll keep on pounding at it until it has a shape that I am happy with.
Wow! Look at you! You’ve been blogging now for 5+ years and you have your own WordPress website. Congratulations! Aren’t you glad you kept plugging? I know we readers are!
Feel free to ask me for technical help with WordPress. I use WordPress as the basis for most of the websites I build at work, so I’m very familiar with it.
