Website Woes -
Jesus H. Christ, what does it take to create a website in Yahoo with a blog by Movable Type????? I have been working at it for days and short of unscrewing my laptop and digging in with my hands–okay, yes, I know that won’t work. But the urge is there. The problem is that when you go to http://www.byjane.org you get a blog evidently created for me by Yahoo and Movable Type. I cannot get rid of it. Nor are the blogs I create in Movable Type showing up. Nothing is being published. Maybe that’s the problem. HTF do you get this shit published???? And HTF do you get that Y and MT blog to go away? I’ve tried appealing to them for help, but I can’t get into MT (don’t ask, if you’re really interested, I’ll email you) and my queries to Yahoo have produced a rather pathetic “we are here you to help” letter that sounds similar to the pleas I get for money from the Chief of Totonga and asks for every bit of secret codeI have ever been able to create. So I’m like — um, thanks all the same; I’ll figure this out by myself. But WTF WTF WTF??????????????????????

I’ve recently started recommending wordpress to blog curious friends … movable type is just too dang hard to set up! I still use mt, but only because I have someone else to take care of all back-end nitty gritty stuff. WordPress is so much easier to deal with …
You have my sympathy… perhaps something other than Yahoo would be more flexible and user-friendly?
I have no useful suggestions. I’ve never created a website for precisely this reason – I have no understanding of the process and absolutely no faith that it would not be tampered with.
Hope you get it sorted soon, though.
