Blog Issues

As this is my first blog I ran into a multitude of difficulties in the creation of this experiment.

First and foremost of these is the “Home” page. WordPress allows for the creation of multiple “main pages” on their site, however the free version requires one to choose out of set of templates. Each template in-turn adds its own little widgets, pages, columns, etc. My current template adds a “home” page…which I cannot remove.

The next issue is with the creation of sub-headings, which do not show up under “head pages” and so far I can only make them and then link them off the main page.

Lastly, I find it strange how you cannot just simply start posting off the main page (so long as your logged-in), but instead have to look around the interface and be redirected in order to post.

If anyone uses WordPress and has some suggestions or comments on how to work around these problems, please let know!

Helping Haiti

The recent catastrophe in Haiti has unified people all over the world to make donations and help the impoverished country. Canadians are asked to give in any way they can, however many people do no trust or know where to look for proper charitable organizations.The government of Canada is also matching donations up to $50 million.

In order to find trust worthy and legit charities my e-commerce class is in the process of making a unique donation site. It will make finding the right organization simple and quick.
