so how do I get started with WordPress ?

 

[MetalheadGautham]

bump ?

Wordpress installation instructions are nicely laid out on the Wordpress.org site. Very easy to follow.

so how do I get started with WordPress ?

It's easy. Just buy a hosting, then goto the Fantastico and install WP. Just a single click will install WP.

 

[ravi_9793]

yes..installation using fantastico is very easy. Just a 2 min process. But your host should provide this feature.

OK, I got my money ready for hosting and will soon buy it.
But can I install wordpress within a website ?
I am planning to make my blog in the format www . blogname . mysite . in
Is it possible if I use my own domain name ?
I want to install wordpress right inside that particular sub domain.

 

[ravi_9793]

^^^^^^
Yes it possible to have your blog as sub-domain name, depending on feature provided by your host.

More traffic you have more bandwidth you will consume.

 

[ravi_9793]

and what is the bandwidth such a site comsumes ?

as said by ashok, more traffic more bandwidth. To save bandwidth use less multimedia on your site.

what about hosting all multimedia on media hosting sites like imageshack ?
the problem is that I have gone for a 3gb per month scheme, and looking at the extremely light chotocheeta.com's bandwidth consuption of 8gb per month makes me scared.

don't say things that are tooo darn obvious.
what else do you expect me to do ?
my site will have the following logos :

1. Best Viewed with Firefox logo

2. Powered by Linux logo

3. Switch to linux and experience the WoW logo

4. Powered by WordPress Logo

5. GetFlash and GetGnash logo

6. Get VLC Plugin logo

7. Webhoster's powered by logo

^How abt the spoof that sabayon guys tried sometime back.
"Cannot be viewed with I.E"

 

[praka123]

is that page still active ? atleast a screenshot ? it sounds terribly funny to me
although on a serious note, such sites ARE possible. many sites don't render well on IE7.

I just want my site to be compatible with the following browsers:

1. Mozilla Firefox
2. Opera
3. Konqueror
4. Opera Mini
5. Android Browser
6. The browser thingy that powers Damn Small Linux and Fluxbuntu

if I make a site thats compatible with the first three, there is no reason why it should not run on IE and Safari(afterall, safari is the son of Konqueror.)

It's not there anymore, sometime back, there used to be a statement saying something in the lines of
"This site doesnt work with internet explorer 6.
We dont even care if it works with IE 7.
Go get firefox or smthing else.
And how can you even live in a world without tabs, you're insane"

The last line is exactly the same , i think , i remember it coz it was so friggin' hilarious.

My Dear boy, you dont know IE well enough

 

[nileshgr]

you can categorise posts in your blogger blog

Argh! what an overloaded blog. Takes a gr8 amount of CPU. Trim it dude. you'll lose visitors. don't have more than 7 posts on the main page.

if you want to power your site with AJAX which changes the page without reloading it; then your site will be compatible with -

Firefox, Opera, Netscape 7+, IE, Safari.

in AJAX except for IE, the XmlHttp request object method is same. Now in IE, its different on different versions.
