Well! This wordpress business is not so easy, is it?

In my first attempt, I used Dreamhost’s “for complete and utter idiots” installation method. That was far too limiting. I don’t get any log data that way, and I can’t set a custom site icon. So here I am on my second installation attempt, which put the wordpress files into my own hosting space. Better, but I’ve still got a ways to go.

My “archives” and “about” links don’t work. I’ve been trying to fix them for an hour. Not to brag too much, but it is a very rare problem indeed that I can’t fix with three or four minutes of googling and experimentation.

In my site logs, I can see I’m already getting a small amount of traffic to this blog. Probably due to the influx of readers I got from the Flash article I wrote. Can one of you nice people tell me how to make this blog’s “about” and “archive” links work?

I’ve got a gigantic list of blog topics I want to write about, if I can ever get this thing working.

UPDATE: never mind, I fixed it.  Sure wasn’t easy, though.  The documentation at wordpress.org was just flat-out wrong, as far as I can see.
