platform on the market today and the cost is just
right, its free.

just about anything you want within reason.


Get Easy WP config Software utility for creating and helping users install wordpress websites. 

  • Have you considered developing a wordpress website?
  • Have you heard that google loves wordpress and so that is why you should use it?
  • Are you not as technical as you might want?

If you answered yes to any of those questions then you are in the right place.

Creating a wordpress developer blog

Installing WordPress is not really a five minute process as the famous or infamous saying goes, it takes a little time to learn it, however if you do it often enough you can learn to do this in five minutes or less, but most of the time it will take you about one hour.

There are a number of things you can do to reduce the learning curve.

  1. First use a Cpanel Host, it is just easier and most of the time the configuration is setup for us technically challenged individuals.
  2. zip up your wordpress file system and upload it to your desired directory, usually under public_html
  3. setup a MySQL database and user name, (copy paste this date into a text file for later reference)
  4. de-compress your wordpress files from your Cpanel.
  5. open wp-config-sample.php and fill in the necessary connection information.  (then save that file as wp-config.php and upload it to your wp install folder)
  6. Go to your domain.com/ and install the database.
  7. Your setup, now the real fun can begin.

Setting up a wordpress website may seem a little complex if you have never done it before but after you master this process you can easily do it again and again.

You can also find many useful guides to installing Lamp software such as WordPress online, and at youtube as well.

The thing about learning this process is that it is something that you need to learn how to do if you really want to develop for the web and the internet.

The end of the Internet?

Is this the end of free speech? the end of the Internet? The end of freedom as you know it?

Is this an end run around the constitution? If so when can we expect to see the same kind of action from our senators and congressmen?

Because I would love to see that kind of change in washington…

As you may have heard there are some brain damaged people, in washington that have had the bright idea that while they do not have to reveal when they have been paid to do something, now the rest of the internet has to do what they would never do.

So now they are saying that if you fail to fully disclose if you were paid money or in product, (wonder if that includes other things as well) oh well, as some have pointed out, it is crazy that we have people in our government that would never ever admit that they have been paid by special interest groups to vote one way or the other, yet, now we have these yahoos, that want to restrict the internet.

In fact here one such alleged crazy loon,

“As a Google engineer who has seen the damage done by fake blogs, sock puppets, and endless scams on the internet, I’m happy to take the opposite position: I think the FTC guidelines will make the web more useful and more trustworthy for consumers,” he says. “Consumers don’t want to be shilled and they don’t want payola; they want a web that they can trust. The FTC guidelines just say that material connections should be disclosed. From having dealt with these issues over several years, I believe that will be a good thing for the web.”

Excuse me your kidding right, I can see why google may have allegedly got rid of this guy.

So check out the latest crazy mess that our peeps are up to in washington.
