Moving to WordPress on a webhost with MySQL and PHP
It has been more than a year of using Blogger for my blog. It provides free web-based software and database storing my blogs and generate static HTML pages that gets automatically uploaded to my webhost. This is quite convenient but has its limitation.
Recently Newsguy provided my account there with facility of using MySQL and PHP. That combination is one of the mainstay of open source content management system. A quick googling got me to the superb test site for MySQL and PHP CMS programs.
After some testing and travails I've chosen and managed to get WordPress running on my Newsguy site. These are the new features it gives ...
- sorting my blogs into categories
- searching and displaying my blogs with certain key strings
- commenting on my blogs
- pingbacks and trackbacks (when I find what those are :-/)
... and I see more WordPress features in the future. I understand these features are available because it dynamically generate the pages via MySQL and PHP.
See you there ;-)
