New Wordpress Install - Painless
So as some of you know, I just started a new blog. It’s not quite ready yet because I still have to get all the plugins working, layout to where I want it to and get all the other small things up and running like my Google Sitemap, Technorati, pingbacks, and my Feeburner feed. Argh. A LOT to do!
Before all this though, I had to of course install Wordpress on the new domain. I remember the first time I did it how much of a pain in the neck it was. I had to update my mySQL version, permissions, and a whole bunch of other crap. This time, it was PAINLESS. It took me 5 minutes (maybe 6) to upload all the wordpress files, another minute to setup the database, and another minute to go through install.php. And before I knew it, I was presented with a message saying, “[All done! Thought there would be more steps? Sorry to disappoint!]“. Couldn’t be happier! The hardest part of yesterday was definitely deciding on a theme, but I had done some preliminary research on that front too so that was easier than I thought it would be too!

@Ram - Yeah, I guess it IS called that for a reason. (#);)

Very nice! I have quite a few plug ins now I even added a Plug In page so people could see what I use. It gets a fair amount of hits. :-)

The plugins page! I keep forgetting to set that up. Ah well, I’ll probably forget again heh.

Yeah, that’s not a bad idea. Can I get in on the action?
