   Ok I feel dumb. 2 #WordPress n00b ??: This is a custom site. How do I change/add my personal avatar? How do I add plugins if I DON’T want to let WP access FTP.

     @gomerx all I’m trying to do is come up with a simple way to post stuff from my nook, which has a WP app, but little else of use.

     Well I posted a pic from my nook to my WP blog, so this may work ok.

     @parlementum Apparently, WP only needs FTP if your webserver cannot write to /wp-content directly.

     @gomerx yeah except the About Me page formats links etc with html in the edit phase but they don’t show on the live page.

     @chimo yeah or I will just upload the plugins I want myself to the server, don’t really like the idea of WP doing whatever it wants.

     @gomerx this won’t be a real blog, I won’t even promote it. just the prevalance of WP apps means I can quick and dirty post quotes, images, ideas, links to reuse later. kind of like a fancy pastebin
