Breakin' it DOWWWWN!

I found a comic I made a while ago while I should have been paying attention in Biochem

It's been quite of a few weeks since I've shifted from strictly writing the comic, to blogging and creating the website. In this interval, I've discovered some aspects are coming along far more easily. I'm certain a more computer-literate person would probably run into less difficulty. However, I've only ever taken one course that involved some degree of computer competency, and have been pleased to learn nothing further. Subjectivity established, I've gauged the difficulty of each task from 1 to 5 (1 being crotch-punchingly difficult, and 5 easy, perhaps breezy even):

Creating and updating a blog: 5

-A blogger account can be created and updated in just a few adjacent clicks from your gmail account. Images are pasted with fairly good resolution, and the posting application is almost a clone of MS Word.

Using a Twitter account effectively: 1

-I'm certain Twitter can be utilized to our advantage, but so far I've only used it to tag blog updates. I've begun following people of interest, but I get to nervous to actually comment or retweet anything. More or less, I need to use or more aggressively than a casual dalliance. 

Choosing and purchasing web space from a provider: 4

- If you do your research, this is actually pretty easy and painless. After comparing and contrasting a few different providers, I chose iPage and was able to register our domain and webspace within minutes. The only complication occurred when Wordpress would not recognize our URL. Luckily, iPage has an awesome support page and it was resolved overnight.

Editing and customizing a new web site: 2

-Wordpress is a great bit of software, but sheer inexperience is making for slow progress. Plugins are pretty necessary for experimenting with themes without screwing up the current web page. It's come to a point where I'm chipping away piece-by-piece every night work, and I'm hoping this will be a "3" by the end of the week.
