Business Web Hosting First

August 13th, 2007 by Keith from shrewdies | 1 Comment | Filed in Phase 1, WordPress Hosting

Install Business Web Hosting

Best done with ftp of full WordPress, Themes and Plugins and an install script, but I do not have one yet.

This time, done with Fantastico.

Need:

Site Name: Hard Headed Hosting (motto)

Description: see top of page, or page info if themes has wiped it.

Admin name, password and email address

Configure Business Web Hosting

Set user options to not use visual editor

Set Options Date to l, F j, Y (unfortunately, most themes don’t honor this)

Edit first post, including slug, and comment. In scripted install, might be possible to customize this to use site concept, e.g. Business Web Hosting

Problem – will not save with any markup code. (solved – this server needs .htaccess in wp-admin. Thank you whooami)

Options to finish.
Plugins to load, activate and configure.
Contact, Privacy Policy, About Pages
Categories to set up.
Blogroll to configure.
Theme to load and configure.
Stuff to write.
