Wordpress Blog - Steps to creating question


Question

My wife and I started a business, and would like to make a blog to get exposure and advertise for it.

I run my own website (and own a domain, and pay to host it), so I use Wordpress 3.5.1 from wordpress.org. I also notice there is a wordpress.com website out there.

My question is, I do not yet have a DOMAIN, or a Web Hosting company for our company blog. But I would like to start creating it ahead of time. Do I want to go through wordpress.com for this, get it all designed, then later link it to my domain I pick, and export it to my hosting company whoever that may be? Wordpress 3.5.1 from wordpress.org seems like I already need a domain and/or web hosting to use this.

Thanks in advance.

Wordpress.com has a lot of restrictions, I'd rather suggest hosting the wordpress.org version on your own host on a subdomain for the time being.

A subdomain is a domain below a domain so something like "subdomain.example.com"

You can run wordpress locally and do all the development and testing on your home PC.

yeah localhost is also a good idea only bad thing about it is that you can show the site to someone else :/

you can make the localhost site available on port 80 but that requires your pc to be on when someone wants to visit the site :p

yeah I wouldn't use godaddy either :p

Only had to use them once for a family member who needed help with their site. They'd chosen GoDaddy for some reason. Really annoying custom admin panel they have. Way back in the past my own hosting had Plesk and for the last 6 or 7 years my hosting has had cPanel. Way easier to work in them.

Cpanel is the best i've used till now

Trying to remember the host that stole my domain name :p

I once had seahorsepip.com but the host was payed a few days too late for the domain name so they just sold it to a domain reseller, it's now for sale for.... $2,295 :(

So make sure to never forget to extend a domain otherwise it might be expensive to get it back :p

I use 1and1 for domain register.

And a small orange for web hosting.

They have scripts to install default, clean wordpress site, database, etc, and from there been able to update wordpress, install add-ons, etc directly from the site.

Did it not go into a retention period?

Nope, it should have indeed, but they didn't >: (

Almost every host has that...

But I think that we're getting oftopic lol, I don't remember that he asked which hosting he should get or where he should register domains xD

    • draw.io Desktop 30.2.4 by Razvan Serea draw.io desktop is a downloadable security-first diagramming application that runs on Windows, MacOS and Linux. Creating diagrams in the desktop app doesn’t need an internet connection. This is useful when you are disconnected or when you must create diagrams in a highly secure environment, where data protection is of the utmost importance. When you use the draw.io desktop app, your diagrams will be stored on your local device. Because this is a stand-alone application, also designed to run offline, there are no interfaces to cloud storage platforms available. Of course, you can still store your diagrams in folders that are synchronised to your cloud storage if you wish. Easy-to-use diagram editor The draw.io apps work just like the office and drawing tools you are used to using. Drag and drop shapes from the shape libraries and drag to draw connectors between them. Drag connectors to add waypoints and set a precise shape and position, or let them reroute automatically. Double click and start typing to add a label to anything. Create tables and swimlane flows with a familiar tool. Style shapes and connectors with customisable palettes, sketch options, fonts and text formatting tools. Search for shapes, including in open-source icon libraries. Use our vast libraries of shapes and templates, organised into logical categories, to create a range of diagrams and infographics. Generate diagrams from text descriptions using our smart templates. Diagram faster with keyboard shortcuts. draw.io Desktop 30.2.4 changelog: Uses electron 42.4.1 Updates to draw.io core 30.2.4.

    • Microsoft will soon allow some users to block Copilot from analyzing their Office files by Usama Jawad Microsoft Purview is a pretty useful data governance, security, and management service that allows customers to gain enhanced visibility and control over their content. It's meant for commercial customers, such as organizations that are storing data at scale. As AI continues to expand and infiltrate every corner of a firm, many are a bit conscious about the technology gaining access to their confidential data. Microsoft is now making a configuration change that will allow such customers to rest easy. Right now, users within an organization have the option to apply Purview sensitivity labels (when available) to secure certain files and label them as such. For example, if you apply the "Confidential" label on an Excel file, the file will be encrypted, and a "confidential" watermark will be applied to it. So, if this file is shared with anyone, they are aware that its access is supposed to be restricted. Up until now, Microsoft was allowing some connected experiences, like its AI services, to analyze files, regardless of their sensitivity label. This is of major concern to most organizations, as a recent example highlighted how confidential emails with data loss prevention (DLP) policies like privacy labels were being uploaded to Copilot for analysis. As such, Microsoft is updating an existing Purview data label sensitivity setting that prevents "some connected experiences that analyze content", from being blocked completely from doing this. The label isn't changing, but the blocking is now being enforced across all connected services (including Copilot and other AI tools), and now extends to Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. Files with the label applied already will get this enhancement automatically too once it becomes available. Microsoft has urged IT admins to inform their respective helpdesk and compliance teams, update internal documentation, and review sensitivity labels to ensure that they meet their respective compliance needs. This change is tagged as MC1297982 in the Message Center. General availability is scheduled to begin in a phased manner soon and will complete by the end of next month. That said, it is important to note that this only applies to commercial customers who have a license that allows them to use Purview.
