1st steps with WordPress

With the WordPress standard set-up procedure you can run exactly one blog. If you start thinking about running another blog from your WordPress installation, that is not going to work.

If running more than one blog with only WordPress installation matters to you, it’s best to go for WordPress’s built-in “MultiSite”. You cannot change a running WordPress installation to be MultiSite, you rather have to take it down and also change its name, it will either make use of sub-domains or sub-directories.

Using the Bitnami set-up utility was not a choice for me, as it requires root privileges.

  • I want to quickly add a new article from just any web page (“Press_This”)
  • I want to quickly add a new article from any RSS or atom feed entry (“Press_This”)
  • https – with the standard set-up all your blogging communication (including authorisation) goes unencrypted over the wire; there is a plugin for https/sll communication
  • “nice names” for my blogs and also my articles
  • http://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-to-twitter/ : auto-posts a Twitter update when you update your WordPress blog or blogroll, with your chosen URL shortening service
  • I set up “NetworkedBlogs” on Facebook to read my feeds an “forward” them to Facebook and Twitter
  • “need plug-in that *sends* wp blog posts to google+ account” [link] – OnlyWire.com [link] does for G+, what NetworkedBlogs does for Facebook and Twitter
  • http://wordpress.org/plugins/social-networks-auto-poster-facebook-twitter-g/ – apparently needs a plugin, that cost 49$
