An update of blog site

It has been 25 months since I have created this blog site. During this 25 months, i made lots of changes in the blog site. I changed templates and administrative settings. i tried to make the site look interesting. However it has been a long time since I updated my site. So today I made an update to my blog site.

Previously my blog site had only 4 tabs for home page, daily blogs, about author and guest book.  In the home page there were a welcome note which is not moved to welcome note tab. All my blog posts used to be shown in ‘Daily blogs” tab. Now blog posts are displayed in the home page. Daily blogs tab has been removed. Rest two tab About author and guest book is kept the same. However i added 3 categories of blogs in the tab panel. Also i provided a link to my other blog site where I post my poems. Rest of the template layout and settings is kept unchanged.

i have become irregular in the posting blogs. That’s why I couldn’t figure out that an update was necessary.From now on, i will try to post blogs regularly. Also I will try to make the blog more interesting.

Old Blog 6: Making of website

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 http://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. 😀 😀 😀 😀
