What it takes to blog
Seven days on, and I’m blogging. It took that long to get sorted: finding a host, registering a domain, configuring my blogware. Here’s the colophon and name-check:
- host: HostPC.com
registrar: GoDaddy.com
blogware: WordPress
template:
Kubrick(update: now usingConnectionsModern)permalinks: cruft-free and formatted as:
http://coopblue.com/blog/%year%/%month%/%slug-name%
anti-spam plugins:
Kitten’s Spam Words and Three Strikes SPAM(update: now using Spam Karma 2 and Bad Behavior)post-by-email: via secret e-mail account and a cron job (calling
curlrather thanGET, on my host)
I installed Instiki locally as my personal wiki for note-taking. This kept my ahead above water for all the fiddling I did, the usernames and obscure passwords created and mis-remembered.
It’s getting near my bed time. Much more, later.
I’m still not sure how Spam Karma works…
