Trying Wordpress

Yup..

The past few weeks has been weeks without new posts. And I admit that i have become a lil' bit lazy these days. And I don't know why. But then again, it's not the first time when 'blogging' becomes so HARD.

But these few days, I am a lil' bit enthusiastic to try Wordpress. I knew it quite a while from Ronsen, but never had the chance to try it by myself. I thought that it's a hard thing to do. You have to setup your own web server, configure PHP and database in MySQL, install Wordpress, run it, and then configure the settings, and so on. Uugh, just thinking about it made me wanna stop blogging.. (Naayyhh, i'm being hiperbolic ;) )

But it turns out that it is not so hard to do. We only setup default Apache, PHP and MySQL installation; extract the downloaded Wordpress package; create new database in MySQL; edit configuration file a lil' bit; follow the instruction on the install page; and your local blog is ready. Just read the readme file on the installation package. And since it uses PHP (instead of some strange and new kind of tags), it becomes easier to understand (well, I do admit that I still have to learn many things and also read those tutorials that I've already forget ;) ). And the point is, we have the ability to explore and to do more with the system, instead of waiting some genius write software for us (which is not wrong after all! ;) ).

Well, the next thing is to import my posts and comments from my Beta Blogger account to this local blog. And when everything seems to be okay, and when I become more familiar with the system.. oh yeah.. I might start my own domain using Wordpress.. :)
