WordPress from scratch : Part 1
Posted by Benjamin Reid in Web Design, WordPress
Welcome to part one of my ‘WordPress from scratch’ series! This first part covers downloading and installing a localhost called MAMP, downloading WordPress and setting up a database for it and finally, installing WordPress itself. This time around I’ll be doing screen-casts as opposed to saying do this do that, so you should be able to follow me on screen. It would be great to get some feedback on how you think I presented this as well as general feedback from the video, so please leave any comments.

Hi, could you say an alternative for windows version?

Alternative for the programs, I did mention WAMP instead of MAMP and you could use Dreamweaver or Notepad ++ instead of Coda.

Wordpress Tutorial | nowNthen wrote on September 28, 2009
[...] Ich sitze mal wieder am Blog. Nachdem ich es nun geschafft habe, Google-Analytics mit einzubinden, versuche ich mich nun an ein paar anderen “Zusatzprogrammen” für den Blog. Es gibt “Widgets” und “Plugins”. Einen klaren Unterschied erkenne ich zur Zeit noch nicht. Eigentlich sind die Plugins eher kleine Zusatzprogramme die im Hintergrund arbeiten, die Widgets eher grafische und optische Erweiterungen für den Blog. Worauf ich eigentlich hinaus wollte. Ich bin, nachdem der Blog schon lief , ein super Tutorial gefunden. Das wollte ich gerne vorstellen. Der Blog “novueller” von dem das Tutorial kommt ist darüber hinaus wirklich sehenswert. CSS Tutorials und Dinge über Photoshop und Grafikdesign und noch einige andere Dinge. Hier ist das 3-teilige Video-Tutorial zu finden. Auf englisch, aber einfach zu verstehen. Word-Press-Tutorial.

I do accept as true with all the concepts you have presented on your post. They are very convincing and will certainly work. Nonetheless, the posts are too brief for starters. May you please extend them a little from subsequent time? Thanks for the post.
