Yahoo + Blogger ?
So I tripped across a new nifty function I have found with the new blogger.
You can use Blogger as your hosting site, but have it appear under whatever domain you want (that you own). I already own a domain that I registered with Yahoo (http://www.bigcajunman.com) just for fun and kicks. I also have a few [...]
Bloody Spamming Commenters
Whatever you do when you set up your blog or web site you must be diligent pulling the weeds in your site, which is SPAM. Yes, people leave these asinine comments which usually have NOTHING to do with your post, but it includes a link to their Adsense site, which consists of two links and [...]
Topic is important too
Haven’t really talked about this, but you need to find a topic for your blog that you actually give a flying hoot about, or your writing is going to be quite labored at the end of it all. I write about finance mostly because it is more of a cathartic kind of thing. I complain [...]
External Hosting
So currently all my blogs and such are hosted on BLOGGER, mostly because I am cheap, and also didn’t know whether I was going to keep doing this (I ask that question most every day, am I going to stop blogging today?). The cost of having my blogs and sites hosted externally is relatively [...]
Wordpress: So What?
Well now that you have installed Wordpress, you should really upgrade to Wordpress 2.1 which was released yesterday, and learn how to do an upgrade as well (which is dead simple to do). Lots and lots of good upgraded stuff here, so well worth working on to get your upgrade.
So why do you want [...]
Wordpress: The install
To install Wordpress locally on my machine was pretty darn simple, after I figure out an important factor in the install. The install relies on PHP to set itself up, well PHP is run by the Web Server, not by your browser, really. I wasted about 1/2 a day on that, until it was pointed [...]
Wordpress: Nirvana
So now I had Xampp running on my laptop, and it didn’t seem to be causing too many problems while running, so that was great. I had Apache, MySQL and PHP humming along nicely, so now it was time to start tackling the installation of Wordpress on my PC.
To recap, I was doing this for [...]
The Journey continues
So, I was pretty much frustrated trying to piece together Apache, PHP and MySql on my system so that I could then put Wordpress up, and then finally allow me to learn how this blogging system works, and was seriously thinking about chucking the whole mess and not worrying about it.
My boss pointed out that [...]
Wordpress - Really Useful Exercise
So a while back I was trying to learn as much as possible about Wordpress, because I do plan one day to move my blogs from blogspot to an independent hosting site and I think Wordpress is as good a blogging system to run on as the next. Now Wordpress does have it’s own [...]
More Posts Is Important Too
Yup, I kind of fell asleep at the stick, so I will try to put some more posts up here.
I have been trying out Wordpress just to see if I can create a nice format for my financial web sites, but now I have tripped across this free template for Blogspot, I think I like [...]
