I have basically 5 days to get a working version of Christina-Warren.com up and running - at least a basic working version.

OK — the Yahoo! plu­gin sucked hard­core (you can see my gen­eral pan­ning here) — but the over­all Word­Press test con­tin­ues. I have basi­cally 5 days to get a work­ing ver­sion of Christina-Warren.com up and run­ning — at least a basic work­ing version.

For the record, I have blogged before and hard­coded HTML and CSS (and PHP) before — but I’ve never used Word­Press and at the present time, my feel­ings are mixed. On the one hand, I like the flex­i­bil­ity and the poten­tial the sys­tem offers. On the other hand, I hate how half-assed cer­tain fea­tures are at present-time and the design aspect — while infi­nitely eas­ier using some­one else’s bril­liant theme (seri­ously, this theme is gor­geous), is still kind of a bear due to the kind of hap­haz­zard nature of pulling it all together. Really, what it is, I like Word­Press — I HATE the Word­Press dash­board. It’s messy and overly com­pli­cated and while I would do every­thing from FTP, there are some set­tings that have to be man­aged via the web inter­face and that’s just annoying.

Also annoy­ing? Using the online blog edi­tor. For all the years I used Live­Jour­nal, I almost never used the web-side edi­tor to post — I always used a client. I like MarsEdit — I mean, I bought the damn thing — but it weirdly isn’t as great as Semagic was for LJ in Win­dows — but it’s the best option out there for Mac. I’m using the web inter­face now though, and I want to die. I hate hav­ing to code my HTML links by hand in stead of being able to paste them WYSIWYG style. Whatever.
