I finally got the website up and running, though there were a few problems with plug-ins. Specifically the X ( or Twitter ) plug-in.

Apparently X has changed the way external websites can access X feeds, limiting the number of calls that can be made. I apparently exceeded my daily allowance just by installing the plugin ….. Or something like that.

I am going to try again with that plugin later.

Everything else seems to be working OK at the moment. I even managed to put up some permanent Pages at the top of the website and am now going through all the options available in the blogging software.
