Last few days I was thinking about making a website. Actually I was thinking about doing something productive during this semester break. As always I preferred to make website. I tried to make some website in last semester breaks. But those sites were not that much good. Than one of my friend Zahid advised me to use WordPress. I actually didn’t have that much idea about WordPress. But I heard its name in many places. So I tried to give it a try.
I created this blog to get familiar with WordPress. I found that it is very much easy to make website with wordpress. Previously I tried with MS Frontpage & MS Publisher. Also I used Blogspot for making site. Blogspot is much easier than WordPress but there are many problems. I Can’t change the layout in Blogspot. I don’t know whether it can be done in there. There is also a problem in WordPress. I can’t use Java script in WordPress. So once again I wanted help from my friend Zahid. He advised me to use Java script plug-in. But WordPress.com doesn’t allow to use third party scripts. If I want to use third party scripts my site have to has 25K visitor per day & I also have to share 50% of profit I’ll make from third party scripts. Zahid also advised me to use WordPress.org where it was totally free to use third party scripts. But that I found was wordpress.org allows to make websites using wordpress software. But in that case i have to host my website elsewhere. But again another problem raised. It was really hard to upload wordpress soft in hosting area manually. I googled for the solution and what I found is that cPanel & Fantastico allows to install wordpress soft easily. But these features are mainly available in paid hosting sites.
From the beginning I wanted to make the site without any cost. I selected free domain name “easyonnet” from co.cc. I wanted to get all hosting fetures for free. So i again searched for free hosting sites that allows to use cPanel & Fantastico. And I found that x10hosting.com allows to do it. I opened an account with them and got cPanel & Fantastico features. but it was little bit tough for me being a first timer with cPanel & Fantastico. But after several tries I successfully installed wordpress for my site www.easyonnet.co.cc . From now on I can create my site using wordpress’s features. I’m so much excited with my success. Now I have to select some themes, plug-ins, & design the site layout and make the content. I’m so looking forward to do these. 😀 😀 😀 😀

Interesting to read about the various factors you are taking into account. But another thought struck me – Isn’t it amazing that so much is available for free?
As for WordPress, I’m finding it pretty quick and straightforward to use so far.

blog at wordpress.com is easy to make but it doesn’t allow third party codes/scripts. That’s why I had to go for a separate website where I am using WordPress and It supports third party codes/scripts.
