This week I have installed WordPress with Bluehost. Bluehost is the hosting service that I have chosen to host my site Seventy29.com.
WordPress is and open source content management system (CMS). WordPress was developed as a simple Web publishing application, that quickly became popular with bloggers. Today WordPress is so much more and you can use it to build almost any type of website, from blog to e-comerce sites.
Installing WordPress with bluehost was very simple. So simple that I became unsure that its was actually what was required in the assignment. I also downloded and instaled wordpress on my Mac, but realising that everything could be done so easy with Bluehost I later deleted the download I did to my MacBook. All the options for installing WordPress got me a bit confused. I have also been reseaching how I can move My Reflected journal to my Seventy29.com site. It was interesting to see that there is differences between WordPress.org and wordpress.com. I look forward to learning more and more about wordpress, how to customize it and develop a great online portfolio to display my work.
I have chosen the WordPress theme Hamilton to create my online portfolio site. I like my portfolio to be minimalistic and simple and this theme was great for that.
It still needs alot of customizing and work to look great. I have gotten the site up and running and added a logo, an about page (very little text here at the moment), and a portfolio page.
