Web Hosting for Idiots!

Well there's another one I can chalk up on my list of 'Things I was not born to be' ...

Web hosting manager... who'd have thought!

I must admit that when I embarked on this new 'episode' I wasn't aware I needed a degree in web hosting. From the endless forums, blogs and wedsites I was led to believe that anyone could do it, so long as you had some basic computer skills... that would be everyone apart from me!

I have spent the last week or so going round in circles and having some crazy conversations with 'support' who must be so pleased that I have at last, given up. They can open up their emails from now on without fear of another rambling, ever so slightly hysterical 'support ticket' from the only idiot incapable of working out the step by step instructions.

I've been trying to take my blog to 'the next level' make it look more professional and evidently this can only be achieved by self-hosting. I've read everything I can possibly find on the subject but whatever I have read must have missed out the one vital piece of information because it just doesn't work!!!

Once I have had a few counselling sessions and I feel strong enough I will try again... they are not going to get rid of me that easily.
