I must be a real sucker for punishment. After two failed previous attempts to switch my blog to Wordpress, I am now on round 3 - and I am getting my ass roundly whipped.

For the past couple of days, I have been reading up online on various Wordpress plug-ins and I have been scrutinising the Wordpress set-up to work it all out. At the moment I am using Blogger and if you are in the same boat, let me tell you that Wordpress may be a very robust blogging platform to use - but it is a real bitch to set up. I have stuck with Blogger until now because I like my applications to be easy and straight-forward. Click a button and it's done. With Wordpress, it's click several buttons and then work out how you managed to crash half the set-up.

I got a theme uploaded and that was a real achievement for me. In fact I was so happy to get that done that I stopped for a cold beer to celebrate! But after that, it was all banging the keyboard in frustration.

Ah well, hopefully I'll get the damn thing set up for next Christmas.....!
