SCO0055 - WordPress Blogging Tool
28 June 2006 Filed in: Blogging
WordPress is one of the premier, industrial strength blogging tools and it's completely free! Available as both a hosted solution and also as a rich, flexible server or desktop based installable package, Wordpress enables you to create an online presence simply and easily. It must be good as even Robert Scoble uses it!
This screencast takes you through the various options for setting up Wordpress from the simple hosted solution through to the seemingly scary (but not really!) manual installation (available in the Extra! section) on a remote Linux server using both cPanel and unassisted.
It also covers using a third party hosting provider and gives an example of using ScreenCastsOnlines own hosting provider - SiteGround. The installation includes configuring an FTP client (Cyberduck) to upload files to the remote service.
