This raises an interesting point. But it isn't always possible for people to go your route, owing to provider restrictions on low level access. You'd need to make sure that PHP 54 ohr later is functional before this will work. But the interesting part for me is the actual installation process of wordpress on your own server or provider's site if PHP is functional. How, for instance, do you create your database? Do you use MAMP or something similar? I would idally like to be able to install MAMP Pro so that we can host multieaple blogs but so far I haven't figured out how that works. íf somebody experienced with this kind of configuration would be able to work with me off list, it would be appreciated. In return, we would be happy to offer them some kind of service.

Actually I would not do wordpress.com I had to set up something with someone and I couldn't. You cannot upload files larger then I think it's 10 meg, you have to pay for storage. It's a lot cheaper on my opinion to go self hosted and host a wordpress site that you instllinstall yourself on your web provider. Many of my podcasts are over 10 mb in size, sometimes being 500 mb but that's rare.

WordPress.com is definitely the way to go. You don't download anything and you don't have to set up your own server. There's a document called "learn WordPress "or something like that on the support.WordPress.com site read that it'll help.

Hi all -

Is wordpress the best way to go for simplicity of blogging on a Mac?

I've just looked at the Wordpress website. Do I just download the latest version, and then create an account? Is it accessible with VO? -

Andy
