Setting Up The Blog, And All The Fun It Wasn’t
Well, what can I say? Setting up this blog has proven to be easy in some ways, but extremely difficult and annoying in others.

A Few Hours In To Setting Up The Blog
I’ve tried so many different skins for the forum, it’s starting to become tangible, and I feel like I’m changing my own skin, in a weird chameleonic way, and now I’ve started to hate themes.
Sour grapes, of course!
I’m discovering simplicity is what one needs, when dealing with themes. Those themes that throw up a “Home” tab, but then you can’t find a page called “Home” anywhere on your site, and which have bugged the hell out of me for seemingly endless hours.
In the end I found the current theme, and felt it provided me the easiest route into establishing a blog on which a) I could operate with relative ease, and b) where visitors could navigate their way with equal ease.
It’s all so crazily addictive, as I find myself sitting here like a man possessed, trying to figure this whole thing out, as I miss my meals, and unwillingly drag myself off to the toilet, afraid something will happen to my set-up. Perhaps I’ll buy some of those underwear being sold in Japan, into which you can calmly pee, and then later empty somewhere?
Still, one sore bottom, one splitting headache, twenty-three cups of ‘Pu-Erh‘ tea, and fourteen trips to the toilet later, I have a working blog!
I must look like a junky by now (I feel like one), what with my waxy, wan, drawn face, and my bulging staring eyes ogling the screen, whilst my hands shake and tremble from massive tea ingestion.
I think I can safely stop now, and take break before putting in any further additional content.
I’ve just been to the window for a quick look outside. A storm is brewing, as is evident by the very thick and low cloud, bring visibility right down. The sky has that electric green-grey look to it; and one has the feeling that should though anyone light a match in the city today, they would ignite the whole thing and we’d by wiped off the map.
Get the Canary and the cage!
And freak of freaks!
After getting the site just how I wanted it, I then thought to myself that my URL was just a tad too long. So, I thought I’d try and move it to another directory, which didn’t work, then I moved it back, and something got lost, and I buggered the whole thing up, and had to start again.
There has been much wailing and gnashing of teeth.
At 44, having survived a multitude of physical and mental calamities in my life, I find myself almost broken by my …. Blog… Aghh…. Sob.. Sob…
Then, on the positive side, I have learned a lot, and now get to have my blog with a greatly reduced URL.

Choirs Of Heavenly Angels, Replace The Wailing Of Banshees In My Head!
Yes, folks, that’s life!
Sometimes it really does give you what you want. Just not in the way you wanted or expected it.
Still… Destination reached, and goal achieved, from the darkness comes the light.
Now all I have to do is put back all the content I’d so wisely saved.
