The agenda today: What is WordPress & some stuff about it Comparison to Blogger Some examples of Wordpress installs How OPLIN uses WordPress Installing and working with WordPress
What is WordPress?
What constitutes a blog? Ongoing chronicle of information Frequently updated Pieces/parts: Main content area with posts Archive of older posts A way for people to leave posts Links to other sites One or more RSS feeds
Wordpress is not… Content Management System (CMS)
What can WordPress do? Act as a supplemental section or blog  Provide additional functionality
What CAN’T Wordpress do (probably)? Replace your entire web site
Wordpress is…
A little background The largest self-hosting blogging tool in the world Open source Can download and customize it
Different flavors of Wordpress Hosted Local Photo courtesty of iShot71 (Flickr)
Hosted:  “No worries, mate!” www.wordpress. com Less access to plugins Easy to get started Less control of the look  Virtually no setup Cons Pros
DIY: Calling Bob Vila..(Local) www.wordpress. org Cons Pros Upgrades and backups are on your own More easily integrated into existing sites *Might* need a good tech in-house or to hire Access to more plug-ins Requires backend database and scripting languages support* Total control over the look and layout
How does this compare to Blogger?
Blogger vs. WordPress Supports categories No support for categories Great extensibility with widgets More limited functionality Hosted or local installation Entirely hosted Slightly more complex Slightly simpler WordPress Blogger
What’s a widget? Sidebar plugin Additional functionality without changing source code
Some example widgets Active Discussions  - Display posts with currently active discussion threads  Contact  - Adds a contact form to the sidebar  del.icio.us  cached++  - Create a list of the latest bookmarks on a del.icio.us account, from its RSS feed  Flickr  Badge Widget  - display your flickr photos in the sidebar   Now Reading  scroll down on that page to see the widget version  WP Polls  - a widget for WP Polls plugin
How OPLIN uses WordPress
How OPLIN uses WordPress
Actually installing WordPress Ingredients: MySQL database (preferably with admin tool) Web server PHP Download of Wordpress Caffeine helps, I swear
Your new best friend! http:// www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp.html
Do this… Allow a really good chunk o’time
Surround yourself with happy thoughts
Be patient
Actual demo here
What to do Install XAMPP  Go to the XAMPP admin panel and open up the admin interface for Apache Click on phpMyAdmin on the left and create a new database Unzip WordPress.  Put actual wordpress directory in the htdocs directory of Apache (most likely C:\xampp\htdocs) so that you end up with C:\xampp\htdocs\wordpress.
Take a deep breath, the hard parts are over! You’re now ready to install WordPress! Go to  http://your_domain_and_path_here/wordpress Follow the wizard Remember, if you have (properly!!) locked down MySQL, the username and password are  not  “root/no password”
