Well I have a new blogger which I will be using from now on. I have confirmed that it is working completely, so no more false starts.
I had to do a work around for the time being though. Even though I could get my linux lamp server up and running wordpress just fine from within my local network, I still haven't figured out why I can't connect to it from the world at large. So I ended up doing something slightly different. I put my install of wordpress in a subfolder on my wife's website (amberperrodin.com - also run by wp) which we have been paying to have hosted. I have dyndns rerouting for me, but sadly dyndns has attached a banner to the top since I'm not using a ip address anymore.
If anyone has any idea why I'm not able to connect to my server from without or how to get around this banner, send me a comment.

wordpress server
Well I finally took the time to setup a server for wordpress for myself. I haven't messed with the style yet but it is up & running. Here is the address hiddenbehindnothing.thruhere.net
I am using DynDNS for a reroute to IP.
More to come.
Update:
I have fixed my server problems--I installed ubuntu server 8.04 with LAMP & xubuntu desktop (for my ease of use). It seems to be running a lot better than it was before. The website it definitely loading a lot faster than it was. I have put a simply view on it for at least now. I like the simple interface but I would like something slightly different. The only thing I need to do now is install a FTP server to allow remote file access.
Updated:
I didn't realize that the webserver wasn't working from without the intra-network. There were some other issues that I was coming across previously which I have resolved (I think) unrelated to this problem. I have tried numerous things: I'm sure I have port forwarding configed correctly, I 'think' I configed apache2 for external users since it is default only localhost. Any suggestions anyone?
