I recently felt that to help with launching my new book I’d integrate my website anthonyjamesauthor.com with my wordpress blog. I followed the advice to map my DNS to wordpress in the hope that the consequence would be positive. Sadly my ineptitude failed to note that moving the DNS did just that, and only that, leaving the contents of my website in the ether. Thus with one stroke I had written off my website.
No one in wordpress helped very much probably because they are not used to idiots using their site. I have now reverted to separate website anthonyjamesauthor.com and manseljames.worpress blog page.
Beware those seeking to build a platform of the pitfalls. No one is trying to trip you up but you need to take advice before making apparently simple changes.
