Hi Adrian, thanks for your comment. The Plugin is called ‘Cute Profiles’. You’ll find it in the plugin directory. Link me to your blog when it’s up! M

Hi Max, I just found yo on Twitter. I wonder what plugin you use for the social media (twitter, facebook, RSS etc.) on the left side.
Thanks

Next tutorial:

Show us how to use Wordpress MU to manager multiple blogs (25-30 blogs)and use the Wordpress dashboard as an admin panel for all of them.

=( my personal mountain to climb, and unfortunately I’m not a PHP guy so I’m climbing this mountain w/ flip flops.

Great post btw!

Thanks for your comment Jeffrey – Very much appreciate the feedback. I’ll look into this case and Caroline’s post to see if there is a simpler and more effective way to complete this process for my readers.

Hi Max,
Great Post. I have to take exception with you on the install of WordPress! I know that you are trying to make it as easy as possible for the newbie to get started, however, when you use “Fantastico” you are not allowed much control over your database.

My experience has shown that the most of my critical problems with WordPress come with database problems. The use of fantastico just complicates this.

While manually installing WordPress takes a few more steps, I find it well worth it to avoid fantastico.

And I believe, Caroline Middlebrook mentioned last week on her blog that Blue Host has dropped the use of fantastico.

@Tony, It definitely requires a good 5 minutes of your time concentrating and a beverage to celebrate after!

Thanks Nathaniel,

That’s awesome, very similar indeed! Great to see you’ve kept at it for so long as well – can be quite a task with all the other distractions around. I’ll have a good look through your site – great video section. I will be starting some Vlogs when I’ve had a shave…
