WorstPress Dashboard and the inner circles of hell
Categories: Uncategorized

Just because I make fun of Booger, doesn’t mean that WorstPress is without its challenges. For example they have this thing called “Dashboard” that is somehow supposed to help you navigate through the millions of little options on your blog. Granted, blogging is a highly specialized art practiced by some pretty amazingly smart people. But, gimme a break Matt. I can’t find the stupid place where I can turn off the stupid setting that keeps sending every stupid, er, I mean smart comment to my email address. So I go around and around, clicking, waiting, hoping… nada! Dash Board? Happy is the man who dashes you against the rocks! Dash it all.

    I’m guessing lingalinga is the place for this question rather than Lingamish.
    How do I set tags for the Prayers for the World posts? Is that the same thing as creating a category?

    Tags. Are you using Live Writer like a professional or are you using the WordPress thingy? If you are still in the stone age, just type “prayer for the world” (without the quotes!) in the Categories box and it should appear after an infintismally small wait (I assume you have internet a million times faster than what I put up with. Or just go crazy and separate your tags (Categories, see there they go again being confusing!) with commas and you can tag your post with a million things.

    If you are using Live Writer you have it all figured out.

    I’m using Live Writer as you recommended; however, I’m using it like someone from the Stone Age. I can type and I can add a hyperlink. That’s about it.

    Shoot, I’m so out of it that when I typed the letter 8 and a parenthesis in a list as part of a comment, I was surprised when it came up a smiley.

    It’s a shame fast internet is wasted on me while you sit there a techno-whiz doing everything on a slow cell phone connection.

    And my apologies once again for taking so long for it to sink in that I’m supposed to give a long response on my OWN space with a link back to yours rather than as a comment with your post! (Should I have posted this on my own blog?!?!)

    Dang, I thought that might be a smiley.
