Decided I Prefer WordPress to QuickBlog

After getting this all set up in QuickBlog, I’ve changed my mind. I think I’d be better off with WordPress. It’s more complicated, but also more options. Apparently you set it up from the same screen where we set up Joomla earlier. (On the GoDaddy hosting account Control Panel, it’s under “Value Applications”.)

The thing I don’t see how to do right off the bat is how to get my domain switched from the QuickBlog.

One other thing to consider — I guess you could make a blog on Joomla, since I’ve decided to learn that program. Maybe there would be advantages to just learning one software.

(Evening)

I’ve spent most of the evening and afternoon reading about WordPress. The next thing will be to figure out how to change the blog over from the other one. I think maybe that will be done by just canceling that blog, and then … (?)

I’m installing WordPress (WordPress 2.0.4) to my practice domain. Here’s what it wants:

1. Admin Username
2. Admin Password(10 characters max)
3. Admin Email
4. Blog Name = (?) (Wonder how hard this will be to change later?)

OK. Setup is pending. It takes it a few minutes to install, then it’s ready to go.
