Beautiful!
May 1, 2023

I absolutely love this swim suit! It is great quality and the colors look better in person. :) I feel confident and comfortable. I have never like bottoms of female swimsuits and this covers everything. I highly recommend it! I have never liked a swim suit this much!

I spent 130 dollars to get my blog up and running yesterday, now today I can't do anything without getting a DNS error 1001. So I will be cancelling.

WordPress
May 30, 2023

WordPress. For my new small business website selling licenses for my patent invention, how do I know which blocks fit mobile phones? Also you don't have the very simple pattern I need ( Large print headline, 4 paragraphs each with a photo space. Also I need a reply/contact box (can't find a block with one). Also how can I choose colours? So far, not simple at all. Lots of time wasted.

Getting started is confusing
May 29, 2023

Getting started is confusing. I cannot figure out what is essential and what is spam. Further, modifying the main page is strangely on the bluehost side, while creating new pages is on the wordpress side.

This should have never been an issue. When I called yesterday to have a problem resolved, the person helping me basically ignored me when I told him that was not my domain name. He said it was temporary.

I was told that someone would call me to help walk me through some issues. I went out of my way and canceled an appointment and no one called.

It's all very confusing
May 29, 2023

It's all very confusing. I cannot get my site set-up. I cannot design it. It's just all too confusing. Also, i had a chat conversation with the help people yesterday, and the chat box WILL NOT close. It's just sitting here on the page every time i login and hiding a huge part of the page

This process in not very intuitive. I'm having trouble navigating. I've used wix before and it was MUCH easier. I'm going to push through though.

Something's messed up with my site and I can't figure it out. Bluehost says I need to update my IP address with my domain registrar, so I do, but then it clears out a bunch of other DNS settings. It's very frustrating.
