The reasons for hosting my blog were tentatively listed in the previous post and to be honest I’m not not really sure why I have to do this. One reason could be that blogs hosted on your own domain seem so much more professional. The truth is very different though. Not that this isn’t going to be a totally professional website when it gets going. It is. Also, as the topic of this blog is php and as php is what powers this particular blog I think it is my duty to get used to all things php.

Transferring blogs and sites and stuff like that can be quite daunting for the beginner but it is usually quite easy. You may laugh but it is the truth. It is usually easy because most of these service provide guides that can be followed by idiots like me. Thank god!

To be honest I often end up uninstalling and deleting everything and reinstalling several times before I get it right. You can avoid this by reading the instructions more carefully that I do.

Before you start though you ought to check with your web host whether or not it supports cool software like wordpress. If not get yourself a new host. I will recommend some at a later date. If there is a link page you will find it there.

Well in my next post I will detail my success or failure.
