WordPress

Wordpress is an open source LAMP application blogging application. It allows you to set it up on your own server. For the sake of my course requirement and public access, I created a blog using Blogger, which is also open source software that allows a user to create and modify a webspace (blog) to his or her specifications. Like Wordpress, Blogger builds on web standards, usability, and aesthetics. Both are very easy to install and easy to use.
For the installation of Wordpress, you have to create an empty database in PHPMyAdmin so that PHP can update the files when edited. You have to make sure to name the database, create a user name and password, which you’d use the same log-in and password created in LAMP.
You can download and install presentations and themes. You can also upload pictures, allow comments to be posted on your site. You can also create categories. One of the features of Blogger is that it allows you to write a page, which is unlike creating a blog entry. Blogger doesn’t allow you to create a page, but you are able to create a profile page.
