Making changes...

Tuesday was a day spend trying to adjust the look of the site as I noticed the template I picked did not have a color layout that made it easy to see the different tabs on the left side. I kept trying and trying to no avail. I eventually "googled it" and found the answer. Whew, what a relief!
I can't believe how the simplest things can be the most difficult (at the time).

Once again, I'm glad there are companies out there that have a service for websites that have all the "bells and whistles" to make it easy. But of course it comes at a cost.

Anyhow, I think there was a lot of trial and error in this process. Another thing I realized is that I can't just "delete" something on the template. First of all you have to click the edit feature. But there are some things, that "remain on the template" even after you supposedly delete it. Imagine my frustration to see the thing I "deleted" still there. How did I know it was "deleted"? Because my gmail e-mail account will notify me of any changes. Every "little" change. So I received a few dozen e-mails that night.

So then I realize that deleting things on the template will just take you to a "non-existent" page. My website would just say, "The page you are looking for does not exist". After reviewing another peer's site, I realized it would have been better to pick them most basic one and go from there...
I guess the other thing was a relief to know was that my deleted items could be recovered.=)

Sigh... it's coming... slowly, but surely I suppose!
