My challenge for today was, learning to use FTP Software.
Keep in mind, I have previously taken the lazy route with Niche Marketing and that includes creating websites and blogs. Since day 1 I have used the WYSIWYG site editors or built in website builders. So today for the first time I down loaded FTP Software so that I could load from my computer to my hosting service. I chose to use Filezilla. I chose Filezilla two reasons. First I had heard good things about it and second, perhaps most importantly, it is FREE.
The download was simple and straight forward and I had no problems at all. Ok, now that it is on my computer, I will use the FTP Software for adding items to Marketing Hobo.
Next I decided that I should change the file permissions. A number of the pages in the Theme section need to have the permissions changed to allow changing the layout or adding features.
Using the ftp software I went into the file manager and then opened the appropriate area and changed the permissions. The only problem I ran into was selecting the column I wanted to change so I would not need to do them one at a time. Again, that old lazy streak bit me in the back side. The FTP Software would not allow me to select all the items, so I had to take a few minutes to find a way to select all using keys. Simple really, if you know how, just use control A. Oh so easy now that I know how.
