confessions of a web developer
For the last few years I have been hosting my personal website and email on the domain ChrisBlackwell.org. I actually ended up moving to that domain from my original longer domain theChrisBlackwell.com. I originally registered that domain because I was obsessed with having to use a .com domain for my website.
When I first saw Steve Jobs demo the iPad just a few months ago, I was very heartbroken. I had such high expectations for the Apple Tablet and what I was seeing just wasn’t it. To me (and most everyone else) it just looked like a giant iPhone. At first I wasn’t going to buy one but the price made me change my mind. I ordered the 32GB WiFi version for $599 USD.
Last night I watched the closing ceremony of the 2010 Winter Olympics, and what I felt and thought was truly remarkable. Dozens of celebrities stood up and proudly proclaimed they were Canadian. The highlight of the night for me was Michael J. Fox standing in the center of the stage, telling the world that just because he has lived in the US for the last 30 years, he is Canadian and proud of it. I am proud too!
I wanted to take back my home directory and decided to move WordPress to it’s own folder. WordPress fully supports this but it is usually easier when you are first installing WordPress, then later on down the road.
The first thing we have to do is login to the WP-Admin area. Go to Settings and under WordPress address put www.domain.com/wordpress/ Leave the Blog address at just www.domain.com Now once you press Save Changes your site will be broken, but don’t worry it’s only temporary.
