The Blog Easy
WordPress is so simple. Here are the steps I took to get this blog up and running.
- Created a database on one of our servers
- Downloaded WordPress 2.6 from WordPress.org
- Set up the “wp-config-sample.php” file and renamed it to “wp-config.php”
- Used ftp to put the contents of the unzipped WordPress folder in the html root folder
- Browsed to the installation script and followed the steps
- Changed the default “About” page text to something more appropriate
- Wrote the first blog entry (this one)
- Enabled pretty permalinks
Yep, definitely the blog easy.
[update] Easy maybe, but this sure looks ugly. Next step will be to install a better theme.
[update 7/27/2008] Installed the wp-andreas01 theme and modified it a bit – much happier now.
