Messing with my blog
Posted by Norm on April 8th, 2008 filed in General, TechnologyI have spent most of my day finally getting to grips with some of the finer points of my website. I have been getting under the bonnet of cPanel and some of the advanced features that entails. I finally think I have worked everything out and now know enough about the workings of it all that I shouldn’t need to pester Kieran every five minutes!
Learning how things work brings such an enormous sense of satisfaction that I genuinely cannot understand people’s attitude of well if it works it works and if it doesn’t it doesn’t. I think that people who think like that are missing out on so much of life and its wonders. It is one of the main points I will take away from my university experience - we are expected to have that desire, that need to understand what we do and why we do it and how that impacts on our lives.
I think today’s experience has led me to want to carry on learning about web development and how I can go about improving this site and maybe making more.

Glad you’ve been having fun playing around with things in CPanel. There is quite a plethora of toys in there no?
Apologies it took so long to get your access details! It was only when Liz contacted me about wanting hers that I realised I never sent you yours either!
Have you had a play with the stats yet? Its interesting to see all the different type of visitor one gets and what search terms are used to find one’s site

I’ve had cPanel access from the start, so I am not sure where the confusion was - it’s why I was surprised that Liz couldn’t access hers when I was showing her a few things.
The reason for the blog post was because until now I haven’t really gotten under the hood so to speak.
I do like the stats in it, it really is quite interesting to see where traffic to the site comes from.
The main reason I got playing was trying to sort out Izzy’s project for her, which was really quite fun!

I think if I mess with stuff, I’ll break it!
Remember what happened to my other blog
Damn I miss it, so much!

Ah sorry, I had just assumed that because I hadn’t sent Liz’s details I hadn’t sent yours. indeed I had no record of having sent yours. Perhaps I sent yours in a random e-mail or IM or something.
Anyway, I’m glad you are having fun with it all. Its so easy to get sucked into a world of web development - look what happened to me! Before you know it you’ll be writing your own plugins, perhaps even your own complete applications
Liz, just avoid anything marked “Delete” or “Remove” and you should be fine
