I have a Blogger site for my riding club – as well as a WordPress one. Must choose which one to keep. As the blogger site no longer lets me edit templates I may be forced to use the WordPress one.

The interface for the template design is blank. If anyone [...]

Too much spam

GML Designs — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 20:19:07 +0000

As I have been getting too much spam and really want this site as a normal website rather than a blog I have disabled comments. If you want to get in touch with a real query or useful comment please use my comment form. Many comments have been nonsense and/or from people with dubious web [...]

Can’t help some people

I set up a WordPress site for a charity but as they never sent me any content I couldn’t up date it very often. Now they have asked someone else to set up a website. Will wait and see how it goes as they say they are too busy to let me have content, I [...]

Just updated to the latest version of WordPress and so far everything seems to be working OK. I back up the data base, folders and theme settings just in case anything went haywire.

I am quite liking WordPress – it is easy to update and the new drag and drop for media may well be [...]

Hosting woes

123-reg has been excellent in sorting out my ineptitude. I have bought more space but as yet it doesn’t show my new site. I made a site to showcase some of the designs I made and/or altered. The links to these sites at the moment are to my idisk, this will cease to be once [...]

Well before deleting the previous WordPress site I have restored all settings and re-populated the text and pages.
