Filezilla, WordPress, & Clook
Today I was introduced to Filezilla and WordPress for the first time, and also expanded my (very recent and very little) knowledge of Clook.
After getting used to the many different passwords, Filezilla seemed relatively simple to use. Once my website was created, with a simple click, drag and drop it was rather gratifying to see how my design would update knowing that others could also view it.
A couple of issues I came across when working on it later on was that as I was transferring over to a new device, I couldn’t connect to the server due to login issues, and also that it wasn’t updating the new css code that I had implemented despite the files successfully transferring over.
After seeking some help I was able to pinpoint the problems to bad file management and the browser cache needing a hard reset (Ctrl+F5) in order for it to be able to accept the new code.
Whilst I had heard of WordPress in the past its never been something I have used, I heard it can be complicated and looked scary…by the end of the session I had it installed onto my server and learned how to choose a theme and create a blog post.
