I am attempting Glezer's firm sourdough starter. This is week 1 and I was supposed to refresh it last evening and forgot. I took care of it first thing this morning and it had a rather pleasant sour smell. Do you think I'm okay or should I start over and hang the schedule around my neck. Thanks.

You're fine
Keep going, the starter isn't watching the clock.
Thank you, Thank you. I'm
Thank you, Thank you. I'm trying so hard to learn to work with sourdough. I want to make the ciabatta with firm starter when my new baby is ready.

I too am new to starters and am currently working with 2 of them! You will find, as I am, that sourdough is EXTREMELY forgiving....just think about our ancestors and traveling from one part of the country to the other...they kept a starter....I just LOVE that!!
Good luck and DO post some pics when you start baking! I made some English Muffins earlier this week for the first time ever, (and I have been baking 35 years) WITHOUT yeast!! ONLY my sourdough starter!! I was so excited, I sent my daughters and friends a message on Facebook about it!!!
ENJOY!!!
