Coding Hell

~ Laura

I spent far too much time in coding hell. Things still look like crap, I know. It’s probably going to have to get one more overhaul, because I just learned that wordpress.com is different from wordpress.org. And I need the .org one for the plugins. Poop.

Do I have to start all over again?

  1. Aah yes, switching the blog over was likely to put you into coding hell. That’s what everyone relies on when they toy with something that works by doing things like adding a bad spam filter, that there’s a high barrier to leaving.
    BTW, your link at the old 11D is wrong (’cause it keeps the typepad, and so doesn’t bring you here).

  3. I’m using wordpress.com, too. The biggest annoyance with it as far as I’m concerned is the lack of javascript support but I understand that’s a big security hole if allowed. I used to use wordpress (.org) but the challenge of securing my site on three different hosts over the years just wore me down. It’s a constant struggle so I’m content with .com for now.

  4. WordPress does not allow ads. A HUGE problem for me. You can’t plug in Google analytics or the other tools that I use and like. The commenting system and organization features are much better than Typepad, but this inflexiblity with the sidebar is a big problem. On the other hand, I can’t spend much more time on this. I may just make the most of this situation for 6 months and then slowly look for a local web developer to do this for me.

    1. I didn’t know WP didn’t allow ads! So they don’t allow any kind of monetizing whatsoever? (just for their own benefit? ’cause the site I have with an URL I paid for has ads! unlike blogger). Shouldn’t they make this clear on their website when we go there create our site/migrate a blog?
