I'm probably on your husband's side with this issue. I've maintained three websites, working with Dreamweaver and using templates my husband designed with my input. I'm not a Wordpress fan, although I do maintain two small infrequently updated WP sites for a couple of tango groups I belong to. Every time I update something on WP I have to re-remind myself how to do it, and it seems like something has changed, and/or I can't find some option that I expect to be there. And I don't have the patience to read tutorials. ;)

Yes, I suspect if you have other web design experience, this will be very different, and perhaps difficult. I admit, sometimes it takes me awhile to find something. But I usually do find it. Or figure a work around, if need be.

I think he was maybe working with Dreamweaver? The problem is he said whatever he was using would no longer be supported, so a crunch was coming with all the sites he maintains--particularly his own massive site--so I thought we needed to be proactive.

and shoved him off a cliff.

:-D

I've forgotten to comment that I was relieved to find out that it wasn't my memory playing games, but that Josh really meant to write a trilogy.

I'm also very glad that we get more Jason and Sam, even though now and then I could strangle the one or the other of them ;-).

Thank you! Don't blame yourself, couldn't it be possible that no notifications came? I didn't get any.

And I'm quite sure that I had reacted to the mail about the General Data Protection Regulation. Now I've reacted another time, maybe it will work.
