You won't believe how exited I am to see this post! Thank you very much! After reading it carefully, I saw that I have done a few things the other way around. First, I quess it is appropriate to say now, that I am not a technical guru, and what I do has nothing to do with wordpress, design or web programming, (so I quess that is why I did what I did). As a Philologist, these things used to be more like a "What **** is this??!!" to me. However, two years ago, to my surprise, as well as to the surprise of everyone who knows me well enough, I found that I was beginning to be very interested in the above mentioned stuff. So a started "googling" my way into the world of web design. So far, I have a good command of html, css and some software products that help me with my designs. However, despite of the functionality of php, of which I am aware, I never really had the time or the nerve to study it. That is why I find wordpress a challenge. But don't you worry, whatever the challenge, I take it for the sake of my nature. :) Now, about the things that I did the other way around. First, I paid for a host and a domain. Now, that you've got me thinking, I am not a 100% sure if my hosting plan includes MySql and PhP. I need to check that out. Second,only after I had my hosting and domain name, did I deside that, apart from the layout for the "standard" website, it'd be e great idea if I had a more functional site (more like a blog) where I could post any tutorials, information, fun and serious stuff, even my thoughts on the various topics and issues that interest me, which was why I picked Worpress. Now that you've got me thinking, I still haven't made up my mind on the layout for my blog-like site. I have a few ideas, though... So, as you can see a Philologist thinks and acts upside-down when it comes to technical stuff. However, there is no way that I hire anybody to do these things for me, as I am decided that, no matter what, I'll find my way around this, like I did with my first design two years ago, though nobody believed I would. This post was helpfull indeed for showing me how things are done. I'll keep in touch , and if you happen to find or post a tutorial on the actual setting of a customized or personal design in wordpress, be so kind to e-mail me a link. Thank you very much, Mary Hi, James!
