Ok…so I was raring to go and thought I would check out WP.org to see the lay of the land.

I am now beginning to think that sticking to WP.com might be just as good…to say that I am about to embark on another voyage of discovery is a huge understatement!

In my blissful naivety, I assumed that WP.com and WP.org were the same, except that with .org you need to arrange your own domain name and host…that’s ok, thought I…no problem.

However, I am now painfully aware in my lack of awareness in Apache and Linux, mod_rewrite…an absolute must apparantly, remote connections and text editor software. I need to know about FTP client software and hosting. Do I want to download onto my root or sub-directory? Do I have a list of my categories and pages? Well, I do, but I might want to add or change things….

…..I am now officially worried! I need to know if I can start writing or do I need to do an evening course for the next three years just to learn the basics? I’m not even sure if the dashboard business and easy-peasy get on with it stuff is there, or will I need to HTML my way to everything?

So, I doubt if I will be on my way to setting up my first official web-site this weekend…that was the plan! But, I will not be daunted, it was only a few weeks ago that I had no idea what a widget was, or how to download a picture or do a link, so I won’t let a small thing like this put me off!

It sure beats watching the tv!
