Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: converting from free blog sitethanks so much for your support, Sam
all of your instructions worked perfectly.
however, I cannot find my preferred theme anywhere. not on the presentation page, not on the extended themes page. is is possible that the Fjords04 theme is not available at all in the non-.com domain? or is there a way to export the theme itself? I searched the docs for answers to no avail.
once again, thanks for the answers to amy questions, all complete, all resolving my problem.
except for the theme problem.
next i’ll explore the flexibility.
Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: converting from free blog sitealright, thanks, MichaelH…
i understand all of that. here is my actual question, i hope you can help clarify.
I want to know if I even NEED that blog, or the software which is on my server. What i want to be able to do is edit my existing blog (http://toddreynolds.wordpress.com) and the other ones I have more easily, and to hack the templates. I understood (rightly or wrongly) that I could do that more easily if the actual software was on my server and if I learned to address it directly.
so, a few distinct questions with this new understanding.
1. is this stuff on my dreamhost server simply another blog? not a set of software like MT that I can use to edit my existing blogs?
2. Can I port toddreynolds.wordpress.com over to toddreynolds.com/wordpress without too much hassle? (that is if it’s not just another blog)
3. Is having WP software on my own server completely superfluous and do I gain nothing from having stuff there? Should I just use the web interface as I have up until now? thank you so much, and sorry for my ignorance. just trying to understand.
