WordPress Hosted on My Server

Thanks, Stewart, for the reaction and the information re WordPress.

I have it installed on the server that hosts OnTheDash. I wanted something simple and clean, that would give me a "clean sheet of paper" and the ability to post something quickly. My ideal would have been a Word document that can be pasted into a webpage. So we chose a WordPress theme and then stripped away the columns, and comments, and categories, etc.

It's fun learning new technologoes, and having been on the internet for over eight years now, OnTheDash is one of the "ancient" websites. Still trying to keep it fresh!!

: Great story Jeff. Technology wise, I like wordpress, many
: (including myself) use it to power their blogs.
: Their layouts are well designed. A standard blog is even
: reformatted on an iPhone to look amazing!

: I presume you have installed the wordpress software on your own
: server to run this ? or is it a basic wordpress page?
: I ask, because of this: If it is on their servers, there is no
: come-back if they lose you site, unlikely to happen, but the
: risk is there.
: Also, I believe that they have the right to insert adverts if a
: blog is getting many regular hits.

: Of course, non of this applies if you are using the wrodpress
: plug-in ion your own server/website.

: Cheers
