You have to tell me how you are going from start to finish in 30 seconds. It takes me more than 30 seconds to upload the zip file and extract it. So what kind of connection do you have that allows you to upload the WP zip file and complete the install in 30 seconds?

Would like clarification on WordPress. You can use Wordpress.com for free and as a stand alone, no hosting ? Or you can use Wordpress.org if you have
your own website and hosting? And WordPress Direct is not related but used on your own website with more customization of templates and you pay monthly fees? Have I got this right?

WordPress.com - a hosted blog, great for some things but not for business.

WordPress.org - download and host yourself.

Have not used WordPress Direct, but they seem to be a service for outsourcing your WordPress.org hosting and setup stuff. A wrapper if you will

Will... use fantastico...

Start to finish with 5 articles posted takes less than 15 minutes if you are organised.

get everything set up in a folder, with sub folders for plugins, themes, ping lists and a blank .htaccess file.

If you're using Cpanel it can be installed and working in seconds.. but you gotta remember to tell it to allow search engines to index your blog in the admin panel.

A few of my SEO clients have been caught out with that in the past, coming to me saying their site hasn't been indexed months after launch.

Without Fantastico Deluxe in cpanel I probably still would not have any blogs. It was easy, 1 or 2 clicks and you're done.

OK Lovellou, now you got me thinking.

Where in the control panel do you tell WP to allow search engines to index your blog...

Could you (or another Warrior) please be as>>>specific>>as>>>possible.

I am definitely technically challenged sometimes...

I have set up a number of WP blogs and maybe I'm missing something.

Also how do you set up the pinging option?

Thanks in advance

Thanks

Karen, I usually change them to /%postname%/ . That way, your links will have your post title (and hopefully keywords) in them for SEO purposes. The default is just a number. If you have a large blog with a lot of categories, you might want to instead use:

/%category%/%postname%/

I agree, Wordpress is amazing.

I have one website that is over 100 pages and built with Kompozer and normal HTML. If I want to make a one change on a page then I will have to change each page separately eg: add a new page to the contents

But now with Wordpress that is a problem of the past, but there is one problem - the site I am talking about has over 100 pages as mentioned and now I will have to copy and paste and create each new page again if I decide to change the site over to Wordpress.

Now that will be a mission

I've been in, out, and all around the WordPress.org site.

I think the reference was not to cpanel, to enable the blog to be indexed by Google, but in the WP admin panel.

You can find it here:

http:/ rdomainname.com/wp-admin/options-privacy.php

Or, from the admin panel, select settings->privacy

@WP installation
Even the manual installation is brain-dead simple.
However, people who upgrade should carefully read the instructions
here: Installing WordPress WordPress Codex

@Oscar D -- when you get to having a website with 100 pages, you seriously need help by using either cgi, .shtml or a high-end html editor like DreamWeaver.
DW has options within it (which used to be one of the things that made it so difficult to learn, but I think they've fixed that...) to deal with issues you run into when running a large site.
That said, having a "framework" like Wordpress (because WP is hardly just blogging software at this point) does make things much easier. Nothing like having a footer where you can change the copyright notice just once (though that could also be accomplished using cgi / .shtml stuff.)

And, @Oscar -- you could probably find a geek like me to help you with something like that and make the transfer not only far more robust, but also far less painful. (maybe even fun ?)

The manual installation, btw, is SO simple, it cheekily gives you a page that says something along the lines of "That's it! Expected something more? Sorry to disappoint!)

Live JoyFully!

PS yah, I fix/install/upgrade wordpress blogs, too. Got a few plugin plans, as well.

I'll take the opposite view.

I think WP is a big pain in the *ss. Sure, it's easy to use Fantastico and put up a basic WP blog, but once I start trying to get what I want on it, it becomes a huge "time pit".
Stuff like getting Adsense to display relevant ads. Or ads that fail to display on some pages,while displaying on others. Or stores that don't fit into the theme's css. Etc etcetcetc.

It is true that better, more flexible themes have been developed today than were available even last year, but I find WP to be an endless process of trial-and-error that eats up my time and seems to involve an endless learning curve, with dozens of similar but "not quite the same" plugins and all that. It's over-hyped. The real power of good tools is in simplicity, not ever-increasing complexity, which is exactly what WP presents, with it's endless mutations and "updates".

Elliott,

Once my sites are built i don't need to go back to them to tweak them, here's how I do it.

Have 1 or 2 themes that I've already tweaked , ads are hard coded in OR I use plugins for example wpeasy ads for displaying ads where I want them. I generally build 4 or 5 different types of sites, so i'll have a theme pre configured for each type.

If I have a plugin I like that works i don't change it.
