Technical Difficulties

Hey,
So I've been working on transferring everything over to the new site and I, uh, ran into a little hiccup. Well, it isn't exactly little, I-
Can you tell I'm blushing? My lack of expertise in the areas of Wordpress and pdf conversion is embarrassing. I'm usually pretty techy, but Wordpress and I, well, we don't get along. I can't seem to get it to format the site to separate the four stories, and I don't really want to make separate sites for each. I might have to, though. We'll see.
My bigger problem is the fact I can't convert more than one page of each pdf at a time. Wordpress needs the files to be separate jpegs, but because I'm using iBooks Author to make the pages, I have to export to pdf and then to jpeg, and Preview for mac is not a happy little conversion machine. I can't batch convert and it's killing me.
I might end up doing everything one page at a time, but that means the site won't be up and running for a while yet. Not setting a time frame, not going to make promises I can't keep. Also I'm tired and I have a chemistry midterm tomorrow and have to get up at 5 am on Friday, so I might put the site on hold until the weekend. However, I will try to get my tumblr up and running in the next few days- hopefully that won't be so painful.
Long story short, I'm working on it, and I will conquer the technology yet!
Thanks for hanging in there.
