I can use vodka to take Excedrin, right…?

I posted this on a writer website, where a friend asked what books we were all reading this weekend.

Figured you might enjoy it as well:

Truth? What I’m reading is how to backup my WordPress website for an Elementor update which recommends a separate staging area, as in, “use FTP to copy the entire website directory from your web host to your computer. This can take an exceptionally long time depending on the size of your site and the speed of your Internet connection."

In case that wasn’t daunting enough, they add, “The website files are only half of the backup. Now, you’ll need to download the database for WordPress. Without it, you won’t have accounts or content and the site will be unusable. Click the phpMyAdmin tool from cPanel...."

“Wordpress is easy,” they said. “I't’s all drag-and-drop,” they said.

Good heavens. Good Lordy Lordy heavens. I don’t even know what any of that stuff means.

So now what I’m going to read is the label on my Excedrin to see it it’s compatible with vodka.
