OK, so I finally got the proper FireWire 400-800 connector in the mail today.  That means I can (and have) hooked up my Behringer mixer and microphone to my iMac for eventual podcast recording.  Not sure what I will podcast about or how good I will be at it, but I do know that I want to try my hand at it.  That being said, there will also be a companion update to my blog coming very very soon.  I need to figure a way to make money out of all of this. :D

It would seem as if trying to figure out why the BLOG isn’t formatting within the website file on RapidWeaver is going to take me a bit more time.  Rather than have that awful plain-jane format showing everytime, I have installed the EOS theme available for free on WordPress; actually I quite like this theme and would only change how the name of the blog appears.  I prefer to have an image file which is hyperlinked rather than the linked text which comes with the StyleSheet.  I have yet to tackle THAT task.

For now clicking on the “Blog” tab at www.veritablevirgo.net will redirect that page to the wordpress themed site.

While I certainly have other blogs up and running, getting a WordPress blog to work properly with this domain has proven to be quite the task.  For some yet unresolved and unknown reason I actually think I had two blog files with WordPress under the VERITABLEVIRGO name.  That wouldn’t surprise me, of course, since I seem to recall having a blog set up to feed to the website when I was hosting the VV site via Apple’s MobileMe; something which I recently allowed to expire.  For $99 a year for 20GB that I didn’t exactly use with great frequency I knew I could find something more economical – but I digress.  Actually now, I’m using a free account over at DropBox www.getdropbox.com.

So onward I march in trying to figure how just how I managed to screw up this blog in the hopes that I can figure it out.  Heck, just getting the installation over at MacHighway to update to version 2.8.4 was enough of a challenge for today, but I did eventually get that to resolve.  Then I c0uldn’t find the “blog.php” file where it should be; or anywhere for that matter, but that too was eventually resolved.  Now all I need to do is get the blog file to open inside the website and now force a new general plain HTML page to open.

What a headache!
