Use open source to build your own online presence for nothing part two
Last time, there was a small fee to buy a domain name, but after that we talked about how you can get high-quality free web hosting and what you needed to know to install the popular open source content and blogging platform, WordPress.
The site I’m working on to demonstrate is www.opensourcerecruitment.com, a meeting place for open source projects and open source programmers. So, the domain I bought was opensourcerecruitment.com which is now being hosted using a free plan with commercial webhost PHPnet.0lx.net. I’ve installed WordPress but so far we have no content whatsoever. If you’ve been following along, that’s where you’ll be up to as well.
Initial WordPress setup
First things first; let’s tidy up our WordPress site. During its installation, it makes up a random password for the initial admin user. Go back to your site and click the Login link on the right-hand pane and enter your username (“admin”) and the password you were assigned. If entered correctly, you’ll see the WordPress dashboard which give you a launching point for common tasks.
