Anybody seen my elbow grease?

I thought Wordpress would be a lot easier.
I’m going to assume it’s the program, not me. Couldn’t be me!
It’s most humbling to be starting over with this new blog but others have surely been through much worse, like, losing everything to a hurricane. And having to eat tough steak.
I’ll shut up now and get busy.

Yeah, Baby, I’ll kick more ass than even I can imagine.

hmmm…. this looks different to mine. The spaces for adds for example? What’s that about?!
I had major problems with mine at first but now it’s plain sailing
Good luck!

Hey-ya Squib, you small but potent incendiary device, you.
Since I’m so new to Wordpress, I’m not sure if I’m supposed to be commenting on your comment on my blog here or back on my own blog. (I’ll copy and paste this to my post just to be on the safe side.)
I see you are using the Cutline theme. That’s my 2nd choice. I went for the Bible Scholar. Some day those 3 top spots on my site should hopefully have image ads in them and I’ll have two cascading right sidebars to rival the balance of a moonbeam through an open window on a rare June night.
But for now I goes humbly, low upon the totem pole of Wordpressdom.
I figure if I get one new thing done everyday or two I’ll be kicking ass, or as John Cleese said to that American in the Waldorf Salad episode of Fawlty Towers, I’ll be smashing it’s backside (or something like that.)
Good-night! Jannie

Hiya Jannie. In general, you reply to the comments made on your blog, on your blog (so no it’s not like Facebook:) sort of thing
I wouldn’t recommend the particular cutline theme I’m using, at least not the 3 column one. I ended up having to pay someone to get it to work properly, after I spent 100 hours or something trying to work it all out. It took the tech-whizz about 10 minutes to fix it and I could have kissed his feet

Hi, found you on Gail’s blog. I don’t think it’s that Wordpress is easy; rather, it’s flexible. You can do a lot with it. And the Akismet spam blocking is good.

Yes, wordpress is very confusing in the beginning. But your site looks great, so you must be getting the hang of it!
