I’ve been wanting to get my little sib’s blogs onto the menterz.com<\/a> website for quite a while now. It doesn’t seem reasonable to be paying for a domain with our own name on it and then using free hosting at a different domain.<\/p>\n

Problem is, the kiddos (Joshua<\/a> and Grace<\/a>) are using WordPress.com<\/a> for their blogs. They like their blogging platform and don’t want to go through the bother of learning html and using it for their blogging (like I do.)<\/p>\n

Thankfully, the blogging platform they are using is open-source from WordPress.org<\/a>. Which means all I have to do is install WordPress on our web server, configure it for their blogs and get their blogs transferred over.<\/p>\n

But I’ve never used WordPress–and I’m not THAT comfortable with programming of the non-HTML variety. So it has taken me a while.<\/p>\n

Actually, now that I think of it, maybe it hasn’t been all that long. Was it really just this last Sunday that Dad and I sat down together to install WordPress on our web server? I think it was.<\/p>\n

I’ve been spending every spare moment since learning how Worpress Themes work–by creating a them that matches my website. I am in the process of switching the blog portion of my site over to WordPress–as it will make it simpler for me to post from a distance (for example, while in between classes at school). I will continue doing my own html for articles, bible studies, book reviews, and the like.<\/p>\n

It seems that this will have the happy effect of allowing me to post on my blog more easily, while maintaining my skills in html and css–and maybe even learning a bit of php and mySQL while I’m at it. I’m pretty excited about the prospect.<\/p>\n

And, having worked out most of the bugs (I think) with the whole “WordPress blogging” thing, I am now ready to unveil the newest development in the life of “bekahcubed”. While messing around with our web server, we discovered that we could create a new subdomain for me with just a couple button clicks. So, instead of the old www.menterz.com\/bekahcubed, you can now access my website at bekahcubed.menterz.com<\/a>. This is a much nicer url to share. So, please update your bookmarks to bekahcubed.menterz.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In addition, you may want to update your RSS feeds or subscribe to my RSS for the first time. I now have two separate RSS feeds: one for the blog content<\/a> and one for the (more) static articles<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Also, be prepared for an introduction to Joshua<\/a> and Grace<\/a>‘s blogs–coming soon to menterz.com<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
