I have a need for a wordpress set up. Does anyone do this? I would like it inserted into my my website, not on seperate domain.

Are you on a windows or linux server? If the former, it can be tricky...

Khalid, I've found it easy to setup on Windows in the past.
The latest version of Wordpress is pretty easy to setup.

As long as you have full access to your domain (through cpanel or Helm etc) then it should be a fairly straightforward install.

You'll need the access to setup the database and choose your extension or subdomain.

Insatlling it is fine, it's getting the permalink stuff working...

Not had a problem yet - the latest version solves most of the previous versions seo and link issues though - making it almost too easy to setup.

Hi

I'm on ASP with windows. It doesn't have to be wordpress, just something easy for GP to be able to post on, and for me to edit it before it goes live. Also want to add a poll.

Many thanks
Sandra

Wordpress can be easily installed on a windows server, only problems I see are the friendly URL's which you will not be able to get as windows doesn't have the mod rewrite function; There are ways round it but you really need to have total control over your server to modify files. Plus you will need a MySQL database on your domain.

The polls you can add additional plugins for wordpress which is not a problem.

If you still need someone to install this on the same server/domain let me know and I will PM you a quote ASAP.
