I actually installed wordpress onto my server back in 2010 (!) but didn't do much with it, but recently I really wanted to start a blog for downloadable printables / DIY projects and miscellaneous things / photography / design.

So I went back to what I have installed in 2010, and I am lost in the clouds. I attempted to change the logo I uploaded in 2010, but when I want to reload another image, it said the directory couldn't be created. I tried to hide that stupid calendar on the side bar, it won't go away! Grrr????

I saw a handful of nice templates too and thought I could just start from scratch with it. Do I just delete everything I had before from my server and start from scratch?

Note that I used to work in the web industry in late 1990 to 2000. I used to be the queen of HTML back in the days and I could build anything! Well, I went off to design for a different media since. 13 years passed and I am back to square one of knowing nothing!!! But I thought things are supposed to be much easier to use now that the human beings has 20 years of experience on useability?? Or did I just got dumber?

Any advices is welcomed!!
