I'm already making notes, outlining stuff. The starting
point is that the user ALREADY has his own website[s]. It
occured to me while I was soaking away the pains in my antique
bones last night that in order to sho wthe BSD user howto host
his own installation of wordpress _from scratch*, i would need to
cover mysql, php5, _Plus_ the slew of stuff that has to do with
apache and DNS .... and the whole truckload of stuff. Too much.
(There really is a great wealth of knowledge in us as a group;
we could create an online self-published how-to book and sell on
amazon.com ---every penny going to the FBSD Foundation.)
Still, other than having an up-to-date ports tree; my how-to
will include things like having the right mysql, php5-mysql,
and unpacking the wordpress files in the right place. --Oh,
and selling up the database stuff too.
