About my sorry state as a webmistress

[silversolitaire]

I got webspace at slashcity! YEIH! This is awesome! But of course I'm too stupid to configure the FTP. There's supposed to be a very detailed page with instructions but where the hell is it??? `_´ I could have moved in this very night, dammit! *cusses*

I've got myself a domain, too! Weeeheeeee! At least I think I do... unless someone snatched it the very second I was in the process of registering for the service, which would be very unfortunate indeed. If not, then I am the proud owner of... *drumroll*

drrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr...

www.glasscases.net!

Hah, I can see it in your blank faces! You're going... what the hell? I'll tell you! There's this very beautiful quote that means a lot to me. It's from J.D. Salinger's 'Catcher in the Rye' and goes to the effect of

"Certain things they should stay the way they are. You ought to be able to stick them in one of this big glass cases and just let them be."

It's very meaningful, IMO. It could mean nostalgia, but also preserving what is dear to you, making it immortal and setting a sign for everybody to see. That's what I want my homepage to be. Thus I named it glasscases.

Nice, isn't it? ^_^

FTPing instructions

[panda-monium.livejournal.com]

Hi Silver! At first it was a little confusing for me too (and I've been FTP-ing for years) and it turned out I was uploading into the wrong directory. >_<

Your host name/address should be www.slashcity.net

or .com or .org, wherever you signed up. ^_^ and the userid... your userid ^_^
You will see that you're in the folder /user/youruserid

Keep going up to the parent directory until you can't go up any further. Which should be twice. ^_^

Then go DOWN into the Web directory. This Web directory is different from the one in your user/userid/ folder. Once you're in the higher Web directory you can start uploading happily. ^_^

Hope that helped no da!

BTW, where did you register your domain name and for how much?
