Personal Blogs.

[Sean]

Well, I created a topic asking for help on this but now I've finally got it working.

After viewing Tob3z and BigD's blogs I thought I'd start my own:

http://www.siondavidgundy.co.uk

It's a work in progress.

Still confused on how I upload my own themes though.

Anyone care to take a look and give me some opinions?

Thanks.

All you do is Downlaod a Theme from the Numerous Sites, then Upload it to YOURWORDPRESSPATH/wp-content/themes do this via FTP Client or your Hosting Provider may provide a Java Client FTP if you don't have one.

If you interested in making your own Theme's is piss poor easy, I find the likes of Web Developer Add On for Firefox is handy as you can tweak the code on the Fly and see what it's like. Problem I have though it doesn't display background images which can be off putting.

But yea looks good and fair play... Happy Blogging! I use it more of a place to Rant or Boast which evers best!

Edit: Are you Self Hosting your Blog or simply redirecting it to Wordpress.com?

[Sean]

I'm redirecting to wordpress. I have hosting waiting.

[damien©]

You should self host in my view, as it offers you unlimited customisation.

It's really simple I did it first time round with no previous experience, plenty of guides on it aswell.

Will I get all the features of wordpress aswel though? Calenders, archiving etc?

Yea it's the exact same features, themes, plugins except you have full control over who the whole site. Including Users, Comments, People allowed to View it, the list goes on.

How would I go about that? Your spoon fed held would be greatly appreciated.

I remember the days of the old ConneX (lol) website, Me,Fleeboi n Jam ran, was fairly easy to upload themes and stuff.
