Do you want to host a wordpress blog ? I know the answer is YES … and I have another question for you - “WHY”. Why do you need a self hosted wordpress blog ?
To own yourowndomain.com ?
To Experience and Experiment ?
Make money with ads ?
Anything else ?
If you already have one …..
If you already have a self hosted wordpress, I need to know; what made you sign up for one ?.
I had a Q - If I get a self hosted blog, do I get to customize it myself ?? Like the header, sidebar and stuff ??
I would like to do all this but I’m not sure if I should get one or not
@ Priya
you can : upload new themes, plugins, change headers, sidebar, colors, css, and a lot so that means .. you get full control : “EVERYTHING “
Yes Priya, dinu is right.
You can check out my blog too, i’ve tweaked it to my requirements. No probs.
I think i need to connect up with you real hard !!!! these are thoughts on my minds ~
@ IT Freak
welcome and thanks for your comment
@ Kavi
no problems buddy… send me an email, or hmm yea, you have my cell no. so, give me a call
Because having a blogspot.com blog is not professional for a web developer.
@ Binny V A
hmm fair enough
and blogger doesn’t give much freedom, even if you set up that on your own domain .. right ?
I would love to have a self owned blog but i dont know much about programming execpt for some basic html and also some xhtml. thats it. i have been dreaming bout it. but frankly dinu… is it hard (from a beginners point of view)?
@ Hasit
it is not even 5% hard as you think !!!!! trust me !!! installing wordpress and managing it, is really easy, you need to know html css php etc, only for making changes to your files, themes, plugins etc.. which you will learn, as you play around with all these
almost all u have already said..
..
@ arvind
LOL ok .. fine ..
your wishes are granted
Mostly to “Experience and Experiment”. I have the hosting for other things and I sometimes want to integrate things.
Also I want to have my data somewhere I know where it is and what I can do with it.
To own yourowndomain.com ?
To Experience and Experiment ?
Make money with ads ?
Probably design it my self?
Freewares, etc…
all of the above!!!
@ francisco feijó delgado
thanks and welcome to blog of small things .. I am a fan of ” Experience and Experiment ” factor
@ Chirax
LOL I knew it !!!
all of the above. I would love to make the site look like the way I want it.
so how does one get started with hosting on wordpress? im sorry im too lazy to find it out myself ! maybe u can post how to go bout it,and some tisp n tricks
*tips n tricks ,i meant
@ xylene
uhmm okki .. agreed … I will try to make my posts answer those questions, or make them helpful .. to achieve those
@ meghana

To integrate it with other services, or other website, or any other thing you might plan in future…
@ Anshul

and yes, it is possible .. just need to plan the installation location well, to accommodate future changes
