    I’m REALLY new to this wordpress/programming thing and while working on my first client site I was noodling around in the General Setting area and changed the my site’s wordpress address and site address to see what would happen and I cant get into to my dashboard—

    I’ve run my hosting services backup thinking it would restore everything to last night’s settings, but to no avail….

    A window says that the site (with the changed name) can’t be found…

    please, please help me—i’m really stuck here!!!!!

    Again, thanks for your help yesterday!

    So, here’s another question for one with your Diva and Moderating skills—i’ve taken a quick peek in the forum and didn’t see documentation that answered my question, so…

    I’m building a self-hosted site for a client on my own server (mjglueckert.com) and I’d like to access the video feature available via JetPack.

    However, to use the video feature, WP is asking me to establish a wordpress.com account, and in the signing up process, i’m told something to the effect of “soon you can add posts to your blog…”

    Anyway, after yesterday’s coronary-inducing episode, i’m feeling a bit gun-shy as i’m wondering: will signing up for a WP.com account connected to my self-hosted site cause any problems for an already under development (and close to completed) site?

    Thanks!

    Not at all. The only reason you need a wordpress.com account is because all of the external features in Jetpack (site stats etc) are actually processed and stored at wordpress.com. Other than that your wordpress.com account and your self-hosted WordPress site are completely independent of one another.
