[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I am also using WordPress. I asked Nathan what he uses, and it is WordPress
also.
I had to change web hosts, which is a chore as most change is, but?I think
it will work out for the better as I was able to find a new domain
name,?rgaphoto.com, instead of RAflexions.com. I'm working on getting the
new website, that includes a link to the blog, up over the holidays.
If you?go to http://wordpress.org/hosting/?the list web hosts who?support
the installation of wordpress for free. Wordpress is also free. I?signed up
with Bluehost as they were listed first. So far a good experience for a good
price.
It just takes time...
Best,

Mostly the blogging software runs on the hosting server, not your
home computer, so it doesn't matter whether you're running
Windows/MacOS/Linux/godonlyknows.
I like wordpress, myself, and if you use the free wordpress.com
hosting service they handle all the backend stuff for you.? The
downside is of course that you have only a limited number of skins
and styles... but there's a good selection and the price is right.
There are apps, usually browser-based, that some people think make
posting somewhat eaiser, but they're not really necessary.?
Personally I don't think they're all that helpful, although I have
experimented with a couple.? I'd rather use the word processor for
text, my usual photo software for pix,? and do the layout work when I
get to a nice cafe' with wifi...
