Which one are you using Rat? I've been through Blogger, Moveable Type and now I use WordPress. I might be able to help. PM or send me an email if you want.

I think my biggest problem is I'm just not familiar with the terminology, so I have no idea what settings I want and I'm afraid to change anything. Â

Lol... as sad as it is, it's so true. Even though we've discussed the 'cult' theory many times, it still gives me the creeps when I think about the similarities.
Maybe this is a stupid question, but I don't know much about "cult think". At what point do the faithful begin to question their leader? Or don't they? Seriously, what hope is there for someone completely involved in that type of situation and/or what series of events would need to take place to shake them out of that mindset?
Just curious because I see some (like us) who were there and held up our pompoms for a brief time and found it fairly easy to walk away from what we found to be a bad situation. Then there are those still there that have seen the EXACT same things we have but their interpretation of events is completely different. So what does it take to break that?
Edited because I don't know if there is such a thing as a run-on paragraph - but that was!

For some...I don't think it will ever 'break'. Some of the sellers there now were part of WP1 and they still believe in Ray and the WP Revolution.  They are firmly convinced the only reason it failed the first time was because of the naysayers and trolls. When WP2 goes down this time (or just never amounts to anything), they will still lay the blame at the wrong feet.Â
