There are always blue skies after a rainstorm, so they say. And my experience with trying to make a mountain out of a wordpress molehill is no different. 

Let me start from the beginning. There once was a young, innocent and naive girl named Ciara, who embarked on an epic journey that we will call, “advanced editing for digital media.” She was very excited about this journey, as she knew it would be a learning and growing experience for her.

She eagerly began her quest for online knowledge by reading diligently and putting her mind toward ideas that would be useful along the journey. She came up with a brilliant plan to put into action on her most important obstacle along the journey, a live website. Her ideas were free flowing and exciting, filled with promise and fervor. Well, that might be blowing a bit too much smoke up Ciara’s ass, but we will just say she was excited to set her mind to the project. She teamed up with 3 fellow travellers 2 of whom could not handle the pressure and dropped by the wayside, and then it was down to the final two. Ciara and her partner in crime, Shilpa, went forward with the plans for the website.

They brainstormed for hours a day, putting much thought into the final product. They had big plans.

A little way down the track, the team was faced with a decision to pursue their project with the fairy princess named self hosting, or the wolf in sheeps clothing, called wordpress.com. They were lured by the promise of great things, and the quick and simple substitute that wordpress.com offered.

It was not long before they discovered that wordpress.com had fooled them into making an inferior product. They fought day and night to get their website into shape using the meager tools that wordpress.com ad available, but found themselves working in circles, getting nothing done, and being angry and frustrated by their choice. But it was too late, wordpress.com had the two girls locked away in a dungeon, and guarded by an online dragon.

After much time had passed, the girls were fearing that their website would never reach its full potential, and they would be kept prisoner by wordress for the remainder of their journey. But suddenly, out of nowhere, over the horizon, the girls could see a knight in shining armor galloping over the hill towards the dungeon where they were kept. It was godaddy.com!

“Help!” the girls screamed at the knight, “wordpress.com has locked us up and we cannot escape!”

With a swift swing of his sword, godaddy.com had defeated the wordpress monster, and carried the girls to safety on the other side of the internet. He carried them safely to where the fairy princess selfhosting had been waiting for their arrival. She set them up with a great website that they were proud of, and was proof of their amazing journey.

You can see the final product of their journey here.
