Neil P Posted August 6, 2005 Share Posted August 6, 2005 http://steelerfan.f2o.org/log/2005/08/06/wordpress-is-easyYes. I installed Wordpress, and I'm now linking to that very same wordpress blog. I guess it could be called "advertising", but it's not like there's anything on there :PAs the link says (if you didn't click--it's not even a paragraph in length), wordpress claims to have a "5 minute" install.They're a bunch of liars.It took me maybe 3.Now, I've got two big problems: First, I am terrible at naming things. Eventually I'll think of one (I guess..), but I'm open to suggestions.The bigger problem is: I've got two themes that I like, and I can't pick one!The first is Dusk and the second is news. The second is just a picture, the first is an actual test blog. Currently I'm using news on my blog, so you can see it "in action" there.I just can't pick!

havnblast Posted August 6, 2005 Share Posted August 6, 2005 Just a note - Spammer love blogs, so prepare yourself for a ton of spam comments. Get your spam plugins ready, a good one is Spam Karma, highly recommend it --> http://unknowngenius.com/blog/wordpress/spam-karmaI integrated my blog to match with the rest of my site --> http://kjsservices.com/kjs/index.php I think I need the latest update to wordpress tho. I find it very easy to update and it was a breeze to install. Costumization of it is a breeze, which I really like.Yours looks good so far. I would give it a title that is going to match the content.

Neil P Posted August 6, 2005 Author Share Posted August 6, 2005 Excellent! I'll grab that as soon as I get home! Thanks!I plan on changing the name, I just didn't want my lack of creatvitity to hold me back from "opening" the blog.No favorite from the two themes? I like the "news" one, but I guess a couple things bother me about it. Maybe I can just figure out what those are and fix them. The other theme is pretty nice too...tough choices.

Neil P Posted August 7, 2005 Author Share Posted August 7, 2005 I've switched back to the Dusk theme..something about it I like more.I've also got the plugin installed, I hope it works out. Thanks again Kelly! (I need to put one of these up now: ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest LilBambi Posted August 7, 2005 Share Posted August 7, 2005 The Dusk Theme is great! I was gonna suggest it!Couldn't get to your site this morning. Is it down or bandwidth exceeded? Says it timed out when contacting your link and your root link to http://steelerfan.f2o.org/ as well at least here. Even disabled my HOSTS file with no joy.I use WordPress at my blog as well .. customized an existing theme called Wuhan Autumn:http://www.jim-fran.com/BambisMusings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
