WordPress Install Experience
So, I decided to go back to managing my own blog rather than having Blogger do it for me. After doing a little research, I decided to settle for WordPress. I needed a PHP/MySQL solution and WordPress was right up my alley.
They advertised a 5 minute installation, I was skeptical, so I downloaded the files, and timed myself. It actually took 7 minutes and 32 seconds until I was able to make a post. That was mainly due to slow phpMySQL access… So, not too bad. It’s default template is nice, but not my cup of tea, so I took the next 5 hours customizing the template to my site.
Overall it’s a solid system, I’ll have to wait and see how it handles when more people than me access it at once. But for now it works well.
