I Know Somewhere You Can Insert Your Shortcode

You guys, I bought this new WordPress theme for the blog and hired a graphic designer to make a little banner image for me. Now I’m trying to, you know, put it all on here, and I’m doing some crying.

Not weeping. Just tearing up a little every time I try (five times so far) because before I email the theme people, I’m supposed to post in the tech help forum, and before I post in the tech help form, I’m supposed to read the threads that are already there, and before I read those threads, I’m supposed to read the documentation for the theme, and I can’t read the documentation for the theme, you guys. I can’t read the documentation for the theme.

You guys.

I teach English, but I can’t read this stuff.

It’s all “.zip file” and “FTP client”, and “make sure your host is running the latest version of PHP and MySQL”. The fuck.

And it’s telling me to activate the theme, but in the live preview, my shit is jacked up. I don’t want to activate it if it’s going to look like that.

So I skipped the forum and emailed. Not only that, I emailed to ask if they could call me.

They said no.

So I’m just crying a little bit. Boo hoo.

  1. Just the thought of needing to read instructions causes me to shut down. They make me feel so stupid that, yes, I tear up, and then I go play 395720348013 video games to buzz out. I hear ya.

  2. Dave is probably a better resource, but i will also try to help if you want (i technically work in software development, so should be able to?). i’m free tonight but leaving town tomorrow for the long weekend, let me know if you want some help!

  3. I’m people too!! Though Jonathan is probably better people at WordPress, but I’m happy to make “helpful” comments :)
