The nightmare that is hosting

I am now hosting this blog on bluehost. I stupidly read that using wordpress on on a host is dead easy, just one click installation and off you go! What i didn’t ask was the small details, exporting and importing XML stuffs, figuring out why my pages wont show etc.

The pages not showing is the most frustrating issue I’ve came across. Googling on the net for the solution only causes more confusion. I actually accidentally found out that you have to select them to be shown from the appearance tab and the theme options.

Once that was out of the way, my post titles wont show. I can find them on the blog, but they are set to show as a horizontal next option just under the pages.

Lastly is trying to redirect traffic from my old blog to this one. I have absolutely no idea what I’m doing. Every guide on the same thing are all different. Hopefully i will get the hang of it. Its a good way of forcing me to get familiar with MySQL and CSS. Always wanted to learn how to use them but never had enough reason to and got bored. Now its my sanity on the line so I’m fully motivated.

Kai.
