My Junkyard

Yes, it seems to work. I’ve installed the wordpress software at my hosting provider one.com.

I’ve read some horror stories before I started and was a little nervous about it. But it was fairly easy to do! This doesn’t mean I didn’t run into issues but all of them seemed my own mistake. Not knowing anything of webservers and php I still managed to get it up and running within an hour. The 5 minute install was helpfull and reading this would have helped a lot! However it’s running now. I will focus on the layout know for a bit, trying several templates which are provided by numberous members. I still have not found one that suits me well… I will adjust the layout for the next couple of days and then start filling this blog with my junk.

UPDATE 28th of April

I’m not to sure one.com is such a good deal at the moment. Several times it has seemed impossible to reach this page. I think they overload their servers… My site doesn’t attract a whole lot of people but at least it should be able to be reached. However since i’ve updated to wordpress 2.5.1 it seems a little faster. Be sure to check some other users experience with one.com. I will update this again in a few weeks to see if things improved.
