So I want to install WordPress on my own domain—what do I do?

Conjunctured (map)

Selected By: Pat

Lindsey Allen will present during this month's meetup. He's planning on leading us through the steps of installing WordPress on your personal website. What should you do before uploading the software? What do you need on your server in order to run WordPress? How would you add a new theme? A plugin?

We'll try out a split-time format where we have the presentation during the first hour of the meetup and then shift into questions and discussions during the last hour. A mailing list idea has been proposed and it wouldn't hurt to revisit the meeting time in regards to which day of the month we should meet.

If anyone has any questions, please let me know.

See you Tuesday & Cheers!

    This meeting felt much more manageable than the previous meeting; fewer side conversations. I recommend that the first 30 minutes of each meetup be an 'Introduction to Wordpress for Newbie's'. That way people that want to talk about the more advanced stuff know when to show up and not be bored.

    Nice, well prepared presentation. Lots of good answering of questions of multiple levels. Great group. It was amazing to ask a question about a problem I encountered and to have Andy Skelton, the guy who WROTE the part of the application I was having trouble with, be in the room and able to respond on the spot by answering my question and then saying he'll rewrite the code so the answer is clearer for all.

    This was my first meetup ever and it met my expections of what a meetup should be like. The presentation was very good - a mixture of beginning and advanced material, plus the presenter was completely comfortable answering questions; the people attending had a variety of backgrounds and spoke intelligently and to the point, the organizer (Pat) ran the meeting very effectively. This was very worthwhile and I look forward to continuing to attend.
