Comment by Dave Posner on April 8, 2012 at 12:03am: Hi all, I'm new to setting up WordPress. I am currently having a connection problem with Filezilla. Does anyone have any experience with Filezilla?

Comment by Bonnie Hardison on March 19, 2012 at 7:24pm: Rob, in college I played with web design and HTML. Now, being all grown up and such, I spend more time playing doll houses with my girls than I do on the computer. Right now, I am trying to decide what direction to take with my current website. It is on a free weebly hosting page. I have several options open to me. Trying to decide which is the best use of time, energy, and the calling in of favors from computer engineering friends.

Comment by Rob Orr on March 19, 2012 at 7:17pm: Hi Bonnie - welcome to the group! What are you looking to do?

Comment by Bonnie Hardison on March 19, 2012 at 2:19pm: Excited to find this page on 48days.net. My current website is www.ccstudio.weebly.com. The art gallery is really expanding rapidly. I would like to create a more professional web presence. Of course, I also want to keep my overhead costs low. Any advice would be appreciated. I will dig into the discussion boards, too.
