Upgrading to WordPress Platform

November 3rd, 2009 by Amir Leave a reply »

For several months I’m playing with thoughts I have regarding how to integrate my blog with a website that I want to build for myself. Though there is not much content yet to publish, I wanted to have a platform that will allow me to easily publish my future ideas, projects and blog in one centralized place.

After exploring several options, I decided to use WordPress, and today I installed the platform on my hosting service. It took me less than an hour to set it up together with my old posts!

The installation process is an ease. You simply upload a compressed file to the hosting server, unpack it, create and configure a database, and from that point on all you have to do is to open the install page and follow the web based wizard.

Beside blogs management, the platform also allows to add pages, media and more easily and intuitively. It has a built-in blog import mechanism, so it was a matter of seconds to move my old posts at blogger to my new site.

Now I still need to fine tune some areas, but overall I’m really satisfied with the midterm results. I guess that the real test for it will come quite soon when I’ll be ready to publish the new content.

By then, I’ll be hoping that you enjoy the new look & feel :)
