There is so much to learn about so many things! Nearly always when I want to do something new or change things, I find I have to learn how. Take this blog. I do want to get my artwork published, but need to learn more about posting pics. And I’m not really satisfied with the appearance of my blog. So I must choose which to learn first. After thinking about it awhile, I decided to change the appearance first. Then after I have it set up the way I want I can post the pics.
In searching WordPress support, I’ve learned that to change the blog appearance I need to select a different theme. I’ve found one that seems to be more what I want. And supposedly I won’t lose any content in the change. I’ve read about how to do the change. But, the idea of changing it is still a bit scary . Just starting a blog was a big step, and now I’m wanting to change it! Yet, nothing ventured is nothing learned.
I believe the first thing I need to do is to make parent categories, more like the titles that I presently have on my posts. I hope to have these categories displayed across the top of the blog. This will make it easier for my readers to find specific content. (I still need to learn more about the difference between Categories and Tags. I think I have been using them interchangeable and they really aren’t the same thing.) I will need to delete or make subs of some of my Categories.
Next I will need to change the titles on all my posts, making them all different. I will also need to put the post in the correct new category. This should make it possible to select a specific post from a specific category. Then I will need to double check to see if the posts are in the correct categories
When I have all the current content with new titles and correctly categorized, I will need to select the new theme. Then it will be a matter of moving things around and getting the page to work as I want it to.
You can see this is a big undertaking for me. And it will take me some time. So if you happen to visit during this time of change, don”t be surprised if things seem a bit jumbled. I will get it fixed. And hopefully it will be a much improved blog. Wish me luck!
