What happens when you mix a writer who doesn’t have the WordPress experience with updates that she doesn’t make?
Broken website.
Thanks to Paula for pointing it out yesterday.
A few things happened:
- Seems my theme was retired by the company I’d bought it from. And it would have been okay to know that and not find out about it with a note instead of an error message in place of the home page.
- Something done on the host side may have caused the entire issue. Thankfully, the host was quick to help me fix it.
- A PHP upgrade, which I’d tried making myself a few times (and had failed), had to be done after it had all come to a halt.
- I had to install a new theme just to get the site back up. The one you see now will not be here forever — that is, unless I find a way to configure it to what I’d like to have instead of what you see right now.
Bear with me as I put a new face on this site.
Back tomorrow with another post.

How can I help?
That’s kind of you, Devon.
I think I’m okay. Just trying to locate a theme that I like. I want one with sidebars, which I may have found. I’ll test it out later to see. Thank you for the offer, though!
I don’t mind the new theme, Lori.
Then again, I detest the process of changing themes, because they’re all sooooooo similar visually, yet very different when it comes to function.
That right there is why I hate changing anything, Paula. I’m not good at it, I’ll admit. I’m fair. I get by. But when something goes awry, I’m all thumbs.
