I managed to get myself in a right old tizz this morning.
Late last night, I started testing migrating the blog from being hosted by wordpress.com to wordpress.org. While most people will now be going ‘huh?’ it’s quite a big change.
WordPress.com allows you to host blogs on their servers but in exchange for the free hosting, you are quite restricted as what you can do with the design. With wordpress.org, you have to pay to have the site hosted somewhere else but then you can fiddle about all you like.
I’d just got the new site ready by last night and decided to do the swap this morning when I got up…. but then I couldn’t get it to work and spent an hour trying to put it right before deciding to give up, re-direct everything to the old site and try again.
The problem with all this was that it ate away at half the morning meaning I went out running later than I expected but with still enough time to get back, get ready and head into town for a shift at The Express.
What I hadn’t taken into account was that Laura had arranged for a central heating engineer to come at 8am this morning and so I had to get around, do the run and get back before he turned up or there was no chance of a shower. Running this evening was also out of the question as I’m reviewing a hotel in central London and it was impractical to bring kit into town so late.
I had about 15 minutes to get out and do the run, obviously an impossible time limit to do three miles but I still set off as quick as my aching legs from Sunday would take me (that’s not very fast by the way).
The result was me getting back with really aching shins … but at least I just managed to get a hot shower.
