Blogs are up and running
Sunday, April 27th, 2008I am so excited about this. Now that my blog setup is up and running and I am ready to write about all the exciting stuff which I cannot think of any thing right now.
Now that you must be wondering about the title of this post which says “Blogs are” which means I have more than one blog that I might be writing to. So let me clear that out. I have problems writing even one blog as you can see, but what I have done is set up an account at live space, blogspot, wordpress and on my own website and I will be posting the same content to all this sites.
Now you must be thinking why would I need to do that and the simple answer to this is because I can. I have got the power of Windows Live Writer in my hand and there is nothing stopping me. Plus I am new to this blogging world and I need to know where and how the strangers are stumbling onto my blogs, what things are working and what is not and I can see the blog in different light at different place.
My favorite one will be my own one which is at http://blog.bhatt.co.uk which I am so much proud about because I have gone through the pain of setting it up in few hours. Few hours because I would just refuse to read the manuals and nothing involves any .Net but thanks to http://www.iisadmin.co.uk/?p=6 I was eventually able to successfully install and configure PHP, MySQL and WordPress on Windows 2003 with IIS. Anyone thinking about having the same setup should read the instructions at http://www.iisadmin.co.uk/?p=6 and follow them carefully they work.
My next step would be to do my website and create a matching template for my blog at http://blog.bhatt.co.uk which is going to be exciting as I will have to learn PHP and some MySQL.
Also I have started learning WPF (I know I am late but have been real busy) so will be blogging about it as well.
Do comeback if you are reading this as you might find some interesting things here.
