How to survive installing WordPress locally and remotely

Sunday, 10 December 2006

According to the commonly available instructions, installing WordPress is a matter of five minutes. I have found this to be not exactly true, and had in fact to go through a lot of troubles and tribulations before reaching the point, today, where some sort of blog could be made available on the Web.

After investing a significative number of hours in research and experiments, I am beginning to get a good grasp on the intricacies of choosing and installing some kind of blogging software. So as time allows, I will be publishing here a series of tutorials, which I hope will help people like me (i.e., non-programmers) install a Weblog application on your Website.

Because WordPress is the first blog I have attempted to install, I will of course start from my own version of the (in)famous WordPress 5-minute install.

The first tutorial I am working on is called:

The famous WordPress 5-minute installation revisited, aka Grandma’s No-Fail WP Multiple Blog Installation Tutorial

More to come… :-)
