Let’s See

Let’s see if I can figure this out. My computer had a spectacular meltdown on Monday. I managed to save some files, so I am still in business. Problem is I have been using FrontPage on my old computer and now that dream is over. I now have to face the reality and try Dreamweaver. When I procrastinate about something–like updating this site to Dreamweaver and giving it an updated look–life has a way of giving me a smack. So here we are. My wonderful hubby downloaded all the files into Dreamweaver for me, now I just have to make it work. (Bad thing is now that I am in Dreamweaver and have realized that I don’t actually have to revamp everything to use this software, well, the procrastination has set back in for beautifying my site and adding blogging software so people can post comments.)

I have been blogging on the wonderful website, Agentquery.com as well, so I will bring some of those entries over in a bit. First, let’s see if I can find the right green for my ‘title’ and get this puppy posted.

Okay, I give up on the font colour thing. It keeps changing other crap on me. I swear I am only highlighting the one title and changing the green with one little click. And what is it doing? It is changing various titles around the page to ‘black’. Like what the hell? Whatever. I’m going to try posting. I’ll deal with colour issues later. Because this is some strange computer glitch that is so typical of me and computers. For instance, somehow yesterday on agentquery, I had turned on the weird little foreign language accents on my vowels. Things like this usually happen to me when I am on desktops. Even my hubby can’t figure it out. Now I recall why I loved laptops. They don’t seem to get messed up for me in the same way. For instance, we had a computer that I (guaranteed) would seize up 9 out of the 10 times I used it. How many times did I seize up my last two laptops? Well, I probably have enough fingers to count them on.

Hmm…now where is the ‘publish’ button on this thing? Okay, ‘put’, that sounds right.

Hmmm…error? I don’t like the sound of that. FTP this, FTP that… Firewall. Crap. I don’t have any of the firewall info. Site Definition dialog box? Where the heck is that?

That’s it. I’m getting out the manual!

Okay, this is starting to piss me off now. The manual and the program are at odds with each other. Grrr… Which means I can’t get into the dialogue box and change a setting so I can post.

Alright, now I’ve gotten into the dialogue box, but because this isn’t strictly a new site…it won’t let me change what I need to change in the FTP thingy. Which means I have to call in the reinforcements or at least do more research, because I am pretty sure I know what the problem is, I just can’t get in to change it. So if this ever eventually posts…you know I have been sucessful one way or another. (Probably another.)
