A quick run through of how I got my website to this point…

Here’s how I got to this point. A basic website with a blog. Nothing fancy. You have to note that this is not the only way to start a website, but it’s how I did it. There are a lot of companies out there that offer the “whole package”. I didn’t do it that way, and went a little piece meal and not necessarily the most efficient way to get to an actual website. Here’s a super general description of the order I ended up doing things.

Why I started this site

The main reason is to brush up on all the new web hosting tools, WordPress, plugins, ads, etc. to see how they work, how they’ve changed. I don’t want to fall so out of the loop, I have no idea what’s going on anymore.

So I guess this website will end up being a journal of whatever happens as I re-learn tools of hosting a website today. It’ll be interesting seeing how ads work, how search engine optimizations work, how these new WordPress plugins work. Eventually I might try to tie some commerce activity and share the process.

Up to today, I’ve setup a domain, added WordPress application, configured some ads using Google Adsense, added a couple plugins to WordPress. Now, I’m just waiting to see how everything starts coming together. I still don’t see any working ads on this site.

I’m currently using the default WordPress editor to write this post, but have options to use others. I almost lost all my text! I guess that’s all the playing around for now.

Enjoy the whatever.

Whatever is a slang term meaning “whatever you say” , “I don’t care what you say” or “what will be will be”. The term is used either to dismiss a previous statement and express indifference or in affirmation of a previous statement as “whatever will be will be”. An interjection of “whatever” can be considered offensive and impolite or it can be considered affirming. In the late 20th century and early 21st century, the word became a sentence in its own right; in effect an interjection, often but not always, used as a passive-aggressive conversational blocking tool, leaving the responder without a convincing retort.
