this woman’s work

I’m killing time before we go pick up Pennie (and her bread pudding!) and head over to my dad’s. Noah is on his computer and Brett is watching turkey cooking shows with Madison — as prep, I guess.

I’ve been thinking about overhauling Open Adoption Support to make it easier for people to use. I think I’ll need to do a fresh install on a new host, which will cost money but someone I know in real life said he might be able to help out with hosting. I’d like to run multiuser WordPress, specifically BuddyPress, although that’s in beta right now.

Drupal, the system I’m using now, has more features but it’s also really clunky and I’m afraid of doing stuff to it because it’s a big install and I’m afraid of breaking it. I just don’t have as much experience with Drupal. And I’m so busy that I don’t know if I can find the time to get in there and get some real expertise.

Thing is with multiuser WordPress is that I’m hearing you need a virtual server, which is more expensive than the kind of shared hosting most of us use for our typical domains. This is where the nice local person comes in. I’m hoping he can help me figure out what to do next because he’s techie.

(I’m not techie; I just play techie on the internet. I’m only techie compared to she-who-shall-remain-nameless who when asked what browser she used replied “google” and still has an aol account. I will add that several of my clients exist in this same “I browse with google” type bubble and that patient hand-holding is part of my services.)
