It has been a very long time since my last post. I have thought about it a number of times but then something else will get in the way. So, what spurred me to action this now? I have recently been creating a different WordPress site for an entirely different reason and wondered how I was to log into each of them. A hacker attempted to hack my new site within 12 hours of putting it up. A crazy Russian hacker has now tried it 3 times from the same URL. I’m glad the security software I have on it has stopped him so far. There is a paid version which I may go ahead and buy which will allow me to block countries.

This site is hosted on WordPress while the other is hosted on another server which allows me to add plug-ins. I really like that ability. Doing both is allowing me to see what I like and what I don’t like in each installation.

I created a Facebook page for this and now I will see how to tie the 2 together. For those of you that have been doing this for years, it may sound trivial, but it is fun learning new skills.

The new site may cause me to break out my big whiteboard to flow chart the whole process as there are lots of steps in putting things into the new site that aren’t required of this one. This all sounds really vague, I know, but later I will be able to share what I’m up to.

There is another project on the horizon which may give me lots of learning opportunities as I need to import a site from another server. I have a zip file of all of it but no idea what to do with it. If I recall from my website design days, we could just change the name server to the new server and all was right with the world. I may try that first and see how it goes.

Updates sooner than later. Thanks for stopping by.

UPDATE: Thank goodness that WordPress does incremental drafts. While trying to find an image in Photos (which is still a mystery) Chrome locked up and I had to force close it. There are frequently complications. I was going to use the word “always” but successfully avoided it.
