Playing

Playing with a website is a fun but frustrating experience.

I cannot stress how grateful I am to the guys at WordPress for making the whole process around building a website so very very straightforward and for introducing me to an entirely new world of themes and widgets.

But as the themes change, widgets stop working so there comes a point where even change averse people like myself are forced to go looking for a new piece of code or widget to replace an existing a now no longer functioning widget.

Looking for feeds from the usual social networking sites, to sit neatly in my left column to the front page of this site was both surprisingly easy and confusing. My attempts to set up a tumblr link resulted in endless posts not only to my website but also through to twitter. Weird.

Pinterest and twitter feeds to the lead page took next to no effort to set up at all. Weirder. & to be honest, I don’t want to link through to Facebook so that’s probably as far as I’ll go.

Now I’ve been reduced to looking online for reviews or articles of the best widgets.
