First Steps: Dreamhost WordPress Setup

Getting things set up, and it’s going pretty well. Dreamhost one-click installs certainly make things easy. I opted for the “fully managed” method - we’ll see how that goes. One downside with this is I have no access to the hosted files to add custom themes; luckily it looks like there is a pretty good selection that is simply built-in.

Other changes I made:

  • Redirected my overall domain to the blog (From the dreamhost control panel, edit your domain and enable “Redirect to URL”).
  • Playing around with some of the plug-ins
  • Setting up the title and tagline
  • First post
Still to come:
  • I wouldn’t mind substituting the header image of Chicago for a more suitable one of the Atlanta Skyline. This is probably going to require some photoshopping as the image above appears to be desaturated and then orange-ified to go with the “bar” underneath.
  • Favicon. Why is this the DreamHost icon?
  • Setting up the “About” page, this needs some biographical information.
  • More links and additions to the blogroll
  • Twitter integration?
  • Last but not least - more posts :)
Edit: Well after posting this I realize this theme’s styles for lists are not going to do.
