Thanks Thomas, Yes I looked at: http://wordpress.com/ already. Yet... I am planning to set up my own 1st on a private network. Should not be too difficult, (I hope)? Later I want to move it over to another server when I want the public access.
There is something about the idea of doing your own and having more control that I seem to really enjoy. Plus I may even learn something. I will have a look at all this and your suggestions later. also, For those who attended the meeting and those who could not, I will be adding update to clug event blog about meeting with reference to the videos shown and more. If I get it done Friday that is. Will post a URL when it is there. -----Original Message----- From: Thomas Bernard <thomas.bernard...@gmail.com> Reply-to: CLUG General <clug-talk@clug.ca> To: CLUG General <clug-talk@clug.ca> Subject: Re: [clug-talk] wordpress setup Date: Thu, 4 Jul 2013 12:04:42 -0600 Hi, If the only thing you want is a blog server, you can use the online version (and it's free). Have a look at: http://wordpress.com/ . You can modify the layout, who can comment, etc in the free version. If you want more than that, like setting up a server on your own from scratch. Have a look at this page: http://codex.wordpress.org/Installing_WordPress#Famous_5-Minute_Install Good luck! Thomas 2013/7/3 Josh G <hiatusj...@gmail.com> If you'd like, try this turnkey server: http://www.turnkeylinux.org/wordpress i've had great success deploying these images in virtualbox. the tricky bit is assigning port forwarding properly, maybe using dyndns on a dynamic ip. Can't say i've ever heard of drivel, guess i'll google that.
