I’m actually thinking of giving ready-to-rock websites for Christmas as a fun and different gift. Super-easy and you can do it too. Or get one for yourself. As they say:
Consult the Documentation ask questions, and become a WordPress WordPress fan-expert yourself.
Note: I LOVE 1&1 for hosting and have not had any issues. If you choose 1&1 – you must edit your .htaccess file to enable PHP5, this is super easy and will let you enjoy all the new features.
Why announce if you’re not ready? The default Meta and Blogroll items on the sidebar? Gone.
The About page. Gads, just delete it or hide it. Deleted.
This is an example of a WordPress page, you could edit this to put information about yourself or your site so readers know where you are coming from. You can create as many pages like this one or sub-pages as you like and manage all of your content inside of WordPress.
Something about that “Search” bar continues to scream Splog!
“You’re 5 years ahead of your time.” That’s what someone told me when I suggested adding a “blog” to our site. Heck, I wanted to use it exclusively as the Content Management System. Maybe if I get someone else to sing this tune, it will be more effective.
I’m really digging the new tagging feature that version 2.3 has implemented. It’s not a world-changing paradigm shift or anything, but it is a significant enhancement to the existing method of taxonomy.
What does all that mean? If I had more time, I’d go on forever. Suffice it to say that there is going to be some category housekeeping going on. I really appreciate the thoughtful inclusion of the powerful, but dangerous category to tags converter. How about a tag to category if I screw up?
I need to give this whole thing a think. What do I do with del.icio.us? It would be really cool if any of my tags automatically became del.cio.us tags. Anyway, hope everyone bears with me while I suss things out.

I thought she was a US Citizen? "Nelson crosses the border several times a month to visit relatives, friends and her family's second home, using her Canadian passport to leave the country and her U.S. passport to get back in."
"The increase in occupancy tax is a windfall for the county marketing agency ROOST, as 95 percent of the tax on hotel rooms goes directly to the organization for operational costs."
"Each of those Essex County communities has its own unique set of community goals, needs, concerns and tourism opportunities." - Marketing by Committee....wheeeee!

Are any other Adirondack Bloggers impressed with WordPress
