[...] Blogs are always a good idea, because there are so many directions you can do with it. You could make it personal with your own thoughts. You could make it professional, giving us “important news updates”. You could also use it to expand your base and talk about things you might not have thought to cover with your Web site before. Getting WordPress setup and going is no hard task either. [...]

I love the article! But I was wondering if you could help me solve a problem… I used cpanel and fantastico to install my wordpress. Everything went fine with that…and i have it directed to my domain so that when you type in my domain address it goes to my blog. My problem is that I don’t know how to link my content pages so that they show up where my blog is. Sorry if this is confusing, any help is appreciated.

Yup, Mitch not only gave me a hand with my WP install, he also helped me get set with my virtual private server here at Lunarpages as well. Thanks Mitch!

Hi Mitch,

Great article. I think it can helpful to many online users if you create a wordpress 101 series. There are few things that the average non technical guy can do to customize wp and it will be extremely help to them if you show them how to do so. Here are few items of the top of my head: adding digg to each post, moving things around in the side bar, displaying author names or logon ids.

I have used Wordpress on quite a few sites I have designed. It’s ease of use, not to mention it’s flexibility make it a great program. Heck, I even customized it for an online store I set up to emulate a CMS for news feeds and stories many years ago. Great article by the way, Mitch!!

Yeah, it seems I’ve been getting a lot of requests for template designs for Wordpress. It’s a great CMS (Content Management System). Easy to use and set up.

Great Article Mitch! If you use the Basic or Business accounts here at Lunarpages, you can install Wordpress by doing this: 1. Sign in to CPanel 2. Click the Fantastico icon 3. Click on the Wordpress link in the left hand menu. 4. Click New Installation and follow instructions. It's a pretty simple process.
