WordPRess is a blogging platform developed using PHP language. Users can set up their own blogs on servers that support PHP and MySQL databases. You can also use WordPress as a content management system (CMS). If you want to have a deeper understanding of wordpress, please visit Baidu Encyclopedia. Hereinafter referred to as WP.
In fact, to put it simply, WP is an open source blog system, and its users are widely used. In order to make WP more powerful, many plug-ins have appeared. The latest version is 3.0.1, click to download. To learn more, please visit the WP Chinese website and WP Chinese forum.
After roughly understanding WP, you can consider registering a domain name. Before registering a domain name, it is best to position your blog: personal blog, technology blog, game blog, etc., and then determine the domain name based on the positioning of your blog. It is best to combine the domain name and blog The content is somewhat related or the domain name is consistent with the blog name. Take my Maibo as an example, because my online name is Maizi, when registering, I consider Maizi’s blog, Maibo, pulse, maibo, and then I am sure to register maibo; there is also the suffix, of course it is best to be com , and then cn, net, info, org, etc. all depend on personal preference. However, I don’t recommend a free domain name, and it’s not worth the dozens of dollars, right? In addition, I recommend a few places to register domain names. Domestic renames and love names are quite good and can be transferred freely. I have never used them with foreign registrars because my English is not very good. Some friends usually register with Godaddy. After all, it is It is the largest registrar in the world and its reputation is guaranteed. If your English is passable, you can consider it.
The domain name has been registered. If you use domestic space, it must be registered. I will write a special article about domain name registration in the next few days. Generally speaking, you can consider using foreign space. If you are using WP for the first time, you can first use foreign free space and some domestic free promotional spaces (the servers are also abroad), because I have also used them, and they are not ideal. Here I don’t recommend it anymore. You can go to ChinaZ and Free Bar to download it. There are also experts in the WP Chinese forum who release free space from time to time. But if you really want to make a good blog, you’d better buy a space and feel more at ease.
The domain name space is all done, and the next step is to install it. First, resolve the DNS of the domain name to the IP address of the space, bind the domain name to the space (if the space supports it), then download an upload software LeapFTP or FlashFXP, and add the domain name in the site manager. , IP address and other information. The preparation work before uploading is done, and the next step is to upload.
The last step before uploading is to modify the database information (there are two methods):
The first method is to unzip the downloaded file (wordpress-3.0.1-zh_CN.zip), find the wp-config-sample.php file, fill in the database information, save the file as wp-config.php, and refer to the readme settings. method.
The second method is to upload directly, then visit http://your domain name/wp-admin/install.php and fill in the database information as prompted.
After the upload is completed, start your WP journey. To find a theme, you can go to the WP Chinese forum, Chinese theme site, etc. to find your favorite theme and install it. If you have some research on code, you can also write a theme yourself.
After deciding on the theme, it’s time to choose the plug-in. My knowledge is limited, so any corrections are welcome.
