I was really excited about this assignment. I am studying Internets studies as a blow off class, and when I saw an assignment where I had to write blogs I was all over that shit. Then I saw a problem.
WE'RE USING FUCKING WORDPRESS!
You know, that site that NEVER FUCKING WORKS. And despite the fact that multiple students have reported issues with the site (not being able to create an account without receiving an error page is a pretty fucking big one), the Unit Co-Ordinator is a stubborn cunt who won't allow us to use any of the multitudes of sites that do fucking work.
It makes me want to punch a baby.
I'm going to write a game called Baby Puncher just for you. I'm envisioning it now and I'm laughing. It's wrong but it's so right. You know that feeling? I'm thinking the babies come back late in the game to take their revenge with a huge angry baby that throws every kind of missile at you. BOSS FIGHT!!!
Fuck yes! Should make it a flash game. So many people would play that...
Get all the creepy babies from Silent Hill, Catherine and Dante's Inferno
Ooo. Creepy babies! I like that!
And Dead Space. Damn they're annoying.
I used wordpress for a Creative Writing class I took at the end of my college career. Like my Myspace, I don't remember the username/password combo, so anyone can hack it once they figure it out and potentially cause problems for me somehow. I really need to stop making so many accounts.
Did you have any major issues with it?
I remember the class had trouble logging in, and some student had to explain how to do it.
Why only use wordpress? Are they cutting her a check or something? 
God I hope not. I think it's so they're not giving other students an unfair advantage. Also, I went to my page today and I was logged in. It was really odd...
My friend is writting blogs for a sports site and they want him to learn Wordpress too. Maybe it's just widely used?
I tried WordPress once, and I always had trouble posting clips and video for some reason. I could never figure it out...
I haven't even be able to log in until today... the day that it's due. *sigh* at leas the next assignment is an essay and I don't have to deal with this shit.
please don't punch a baby.
Hey if we can subject them to eternal torture for not sprinkling water on their heads, I think I'm fully justified in punching one of the evil fuckers.
Is this one of those "See? Life isn't fair!" lessons the old bat is tossing at you? Of course in real life you also have several choices for creating a blog. Your teacher must live in her own fucked up reality where word-press is a monopoly that swallowed everything. I'd pity her if she wasn't such a poo-poo face!
I think she's just angry because I never go to her lectures :p
Could be it. lol. Though I envy her. I wish I could get paid for simply running my mouth and neglecting my students. College professors seem to get much more slack than HS teachers for some reason. (Sorry, I'm generalizing. Bad Ben,bad!)
I'm frustrated because this assignment is worth 50% of this unit. The online component is worth 15% of the entire unit, with pdf I have to send to her worth 30%. So if I don't do absolutely perfectly in the PDF section, I'll fail. Here's the kicker though. Half of the pdf I have to send to her is about experiences and features of wordpress and how they can be used in the professional world. I can't even fucking log in!
It's not your fault you cannot sign in. Have you thought about taking this to a higher authority,Blake? Your teacher is being very petty. I don't know why she insists on one outdated blogger program when there are a multitude of choices with better interface tools & options.
PS: If you have a friend who can get word press to work for whatever reason you could perhaps ask to do your assignment on their pc after they're done. I'm thinking your troubles might be a software update issue or incompatibility issue.
Eh. I'm going to talk to my colleges academic supervisor to see if anything can be done. really worried about this though... Don't want to fail a unit because of something I can't control. If I fuck up, fine, I'll cop it, but this isn't my fault.
You can't use Blogger? Or you can't just show her your profile on here or Plus 10 Damage? You've been blogging for quite a while now lol. It's not your fault that Wordpress is a piece of shit. 
I know. I wish I could send her the blogs related to the unit and then point to my blogs on other sites and show that I know how to blog.
I use wordpress. What's wrong with it? It won't let you post? I hope you are saving locally to a document first and then copying and pasting into wordpress just to make sure. 
Everything is sorted now, but I couldn't use the site AT ALL! I could only get in through the support page or I received error pages, and I couldn't move off the support page or I received error messages.
Don't punch the baby! At least give it a gentle punt....onto a bed or sofa. Wordpress is an abomination if you ask me. What a nightmare....
