The Thickness of WoPr.

I created a new WordPress Blog and gave it it’s own subdomain- this time also putting it into it’s own folder. This is something I had previously not considered, and that in the end, it bit me in the ass. WP want control of the entire folder that it lives in. So if you think you can place folders in the same space as your WP install, you can, and it might be OK, but it might not. So learning from my past mistakes- I created this subdomain research.garrisongunter.com and installed the WP package into /blog/. Now- if I decide to do something different in the root of research, I won’t have to migrate my WP install, potentially breaking things in the process.

I succesfully imported, or, rather, exported and then imported my other blog from my site to this new location with only one little glitch. It seems that if your entried have a tag or category set to () meaning nothing, that your import will fail. So- I searched online for the error I was getting and I immediately got the fix- delete the line that contained empty tags (or categories?) and try again. It worked. So now it appears that everything is up and running in this new location.

Now the hard part. I want to have this blog appear in my website as content on a page and I haven’t been able to figure out how to do that yet. I’ve been in the process of converting my site from html to php, but that too is a bit wonky. Things don’t look right in Dreamweaver so I have to rely on my server for updates to make sure everything is working properly. I know I must have erroneous code in there too, but one thing at a time, seriously. I keep an update of sites I’ve found useful so far on my delicious account now at delicious.com/ggunter
