Initial Setup 
No Comments It all starts here
With many years of writing web pages and setting up databases I decided to create a blog using WordPress. This blog is my
journey in setting it up and exploring some of the templates, widgets and plugins that can be used. I downloaded WordPress 3.1.3, which is in newest version, which has been downloaded over 13 million times. I won’t go into the installation because WordPress.org has a great deal of information on that subject at http://codex.wordpress.org/Getting_Started_with_WordPress#Installation. The first thing I ran into was what to call my blog. At first I thought that I would just call it my name. That is a bad idea. When someone is searching for information how are they going to know that my name has anything to do with the information that is in my blog. After some sole soul searching I decided to have the Site Title called “BlogPress 101” because that explains what my blog is all about. The next thing down in the General Settings is what is called a Tagline. This is a one-liner that further explains your site. You can get as creative on this one as you like. Make it good for the search engines to use it. Not something like “WOW This Is FUN” or something like that.
