About this Class
“Using wordpress to manage your website” was created after a number of people asked the presenter about how to use & best leverage wordpress for their websites.
This is a ‘rush’ intro, you wont leave this class knowing how to do everything, but we’ll point you in the right direction and help you get going.
Followup class? If there is demand for more, a followup presentation could be arranged.

IP address – What’s your #?
IP = Internet Protocol IP address – Every “computer” on a network needs an IP address.
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx – where xxx = 001‐256 Would be pretty tedious memorizing numbers. Oh wait, we already do that for phones! But why not make it easier? Since we’re on a network we can have a way to associate a “Domain Name” with an IP address.
![Page 21: Using Wordpress 2009 04 29](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062405/5554ff77b4c9051a5b8b4a08/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
DNS (Domain Name System)
Basically a big list of domain names & IP addresses.
So when you type in a domain it knows where to go.

DNS continued
Distributed Root Servers – On the internet Name Servers – At your web server/host DNS Cache – On your local client
What is my IP ? http://whatismyip.com/

Domain Name – Why get one?
why ‐ (find old presentation?) ‐ branding ‐ You want people to remember your website
‐ Mobility ‐ Analogy to phone number having phone company name in the number
‐ Centralization ‐ ‐ Control ‐
![Page 25: Using Wordpress 2009 04 29](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062405/5554ff77b4c9051a5b8b4a08/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Domain Name – How do I get one?
Registrar – Cheap (~$8) to expensive ($35+). Some TLD’s (.tv) cost more.
All they do is point DNS to your host Difference? Value added services in addition, but base service the same. Domain Redirect E‐mail Redirect Hosting packaged with Privacy Protect

TLD (Top Level Domain)
.com / .net / .org / .biz / .info / .me .com still most popular. Not enforced:
.org for non‐profits .net for networks, like ISPs etc.
Only ones that are policed; .edu – for higher ed (though some secondary) .coop – for officially registered coops .tel – brand new. Like a directory

More definitions
Open source software (OSS) ‐ is defined as computer software for which the source code and copyright are provided under a software license that permits users to use, change, and improve the software, and to redistribute it in modified or unmodified forms. It is very often developed in a public, collaborative manner.
![Page 28: Using Wordpress 2009 04 29](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062405/5554ff77b4c9051a5b8b4a08/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Free vs commercial
Commercial – Hire a select few experts, they do all the coding & testing. Pros – Tight control over changes. Support Cons ‐ $$$
Open Source Community – Anyone can participate and suggest changes. Entire community (websites, lists, etc) focused on each product. Learning from each other. Evolving to meet the needs on the fly. Pros – Free. Quick updates. Part of something Cons – Sometimes lack of support. Docs/training only online.

Open Source Software we’re using
Linux OS (CentOS, Red Hat, BSD) Programming languages
PHP Perl Ruby On Rails
MySQL‐ Database. Think of an Excel spreadsheet that’s searchable/sortable.
Apache httpd – Web Server software

Old Web Publishing model
Create HTML on local machine. Save. Upload (FTP) Load via web browser. Note problems Change code locally. Save. Upload. Repeat
![Page 31: Using Wordpress 2009 04 29](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062405/5554ff77b4c9051a5b8b4a08/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Static HTML website
User requests a page Server finds that HTML file Send file to user’s browser.
![Page 32: Using Wordpress 2009 04 29](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062405/5554ff77b4c9051a5b8b4a08/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
More old model html problems
Static content. Every link, image, header, footer are all fixed.
Everytime you make a change you have re‐upload.
So if you had your phone number on every page, you’d have to edit all of them to update.
Not searchable. Not dynamic.
![Page 33: Using Wordpress 2009 04 29](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062405/5554ff77b4c9051a5b8b4a08/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Server Side Applications
Paradigm Shift ‐ This isn't your father's website
Not just static text files, it’s a program running that is serving up data it’s pulling from a database.
Content (data) is separate from design Cake vs Icing Dynamic. Searchable. Interactive.
![Page 34: Using Wordpress 2009 04 29](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062405/5554ff77b4c9051a5b8b4a08/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Server Side Example
User requests a page Server queries database Database returns results Application converts data to HTML
Automatically adds sitewide footer/header/etc.
Sends HTML to user’s browser

Wordpress.org vs wordpress.com
Wordpress.org – Has downloadable script (application) that you can install on your account on a webhost.
Wordpress.com ‐ lets you get started with a new and free WordPress‐based blog in seconds, but varies in several ways and is less flexible than the WordPress you download and install yourself.

Wordpress is a CMS
While not engineered originally to be as robust and customizable as the ‘BIG’ CMS applications, Wordpress can do all the basics.
K.I.S.S. – Keep It Simple Stupid – Why use a sledge hammer to pound in a tack?
Great for individuals, small businesses as a web publishing tool. Still best for ‘pushing’ information out, not as good for interaction & community building.
![Page 47: Using Wordpress 2009 04 29](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062405/5554ff77b4c9051a5b8b4a08/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Just to be clear…
From here on out I’m talking about the script you can download from Wordpress.org and installing it on a web server.
In order to do this you will need an account on a web host that has a server that meets the technical requirements for installing and running wordpress.
![Page 48: Using Wordpress 2009 04 29](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062405/5554ff77b4c9051a5b8b4a08/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Wordpress Requirements
http://wordpress.org/about/requirements/ PHP version 4.3 or greater MySQL 4.0 or greater The mod_rewrite Apache module
(as of 04/28/09 for Wordpress 2.7.1)
![Page 49: Using Wordpress 2009 04 29](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062405/5554ff77b4c9051a5b8b4a08/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
SECTION III ‐ INSTALLATION
This section covers the basics of installation of wordpress including; Downloading & uploading Setting up wordpress Initial configuration
![Page 50: Using Wordpress 2009 04 29](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062405/5554ff77b4c9051a5b8b4a08/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
Download & FTP
The Hard Way: Download and FTP http://wordpress.org/ ‐ Follow links for download.
You’ll end up with latest.tar.gz or latest.zip on your desktop. You should be able to double click on this to uncompress.
You’ll end up with a folder named ‘wordpress’ with a number of files and sub‐folders in it.
![Page 51: Using Wordpress 2009 04 29](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062405/5554ff77b4c9051a5b8b4a08/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
FTP Client
Mac CyberDuck ‐ http://cyberduck.ch/ Or command line: /applications/utilities/terminal
Windows FileZilla ‐ http://filezilla.sourceforge.net/
Upload the contents of the wordpress folder to wherever you want your wordpress install to resolve to.
![Page 52: Using Wordpress 2009 04 29](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062405/5554ff77b4c9051a5b8b4a08/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
Your Web Hosting Account
You’ll get a username & password. They should tell you the ‘path’ where your website
resolves to: PATH = The folder where your website is located,
usually something like:
/home/accountname/public_html/
If you have an existing website and want to experiment with wordpress elsewhere you can put it in a sub‐folder:
/home/accountname/public_html/testfolder/
![Page 53: Using Wordpress 2009 04 29](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062405/5554ff77b4c9051a5b8b4a08/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
Upload the files
Use your ftp client to upload (aka PUT) the contents of the wordpress folder you have on your computer to the “PATH” where your website resolves to.
Note – The above says ‘THE CONTENTS’ of the wordpress folder. Don’t upload the folder itself.
![Page 54: Using Wordpress 2009 04 29](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062405/5554ff77b4c9051a5b8b4a08/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
MySQL
You may need to contact your web host on how to set this up since it varies from host to host.
You need a MySQL database name and an MySQL account name that has permissions to write and setup that database.
![Page 55: Using Wordpress 2009 04 29](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062405/5554ff77b4c9051a5b8b4a08/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
cPanel
Many web hosts offer a web management system to control options for your account like e‐mail addresses, ftp accounts, and MySQL.
In this example I’ll be using some tools included with cPanel, a popular tool that many hosts offer to set up a MySQL database
Other hosts offer plesk, Hsphere and other tools that basically do the same thing.
![Page 56: Using Wordpress 2009 04 29](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062405/5554ff77b4c9051a5b8b4a08/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
cPanel Database Section
• Use the “MySQL Database Wizard” to create a database and a MySQL user with permissions to access that database.

Initial Configuration
For tonight’s workshop I’m using: http://wordpress.downeastlearning.org I just created this for this workshop, just happened to call it wordpress, it could be anything.
The web interface is just a shortcut to editing the wp‐config.php file. You can create this by just copying the wp‐config‐sample.php to wp‐config.php and manually entering these values.
![Page 63: Using Wordpress 2009 04 29](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062405/5554ff77b4c9051a5b8b4a08/html5/thumbnails/63.jpg)
Configuring via web
In order to start the configuration through a web browser just open the URL where you put your install.
In order for wordpress to create the wp‐config.php file the directory with your wordpress install needs to allow the webserver to be able to create & edit files.

Permissions & wp‐config.php
It will try to auto‐create the wp‐config.php file but this doesn’t always work.

• If you are going to take comments then require account (with verified) e‐mail address &/or Captcha. • Also require admin approval. You don’t want stuff on your site without knowing what it is.

Backups
Remember, all your data is in the server and in the database.
Your webhost may do backups but they may not be available on demand, just in case of server crash.
Don’t assume others are taking care of this. Better safe than sorry.
Wordpress Database Backup – Weekly DB dumps via e‐mail. Get a gmail account.
FTP down the wp‐content folder to get all plugins, themes, uploaded media.

SECTION VII ‐ Themes
“Icing on the cake”
Themes are the design of your website. Since this is separate from the content you can change themes without changing the content of a page.
The theme design files are shared site wide, so any change affects all pages.

Themes Basics
No automatic installation of WP themes (yet) FTP the uncompressed theme folder into /wp‐content/themes/
You can have a number of themes installed and switch easily, don’t be afraid to get a bunch to try out. It’s free. They aren’t that big. You can always delete later.

Widgets
“Widgets” are tools to customize the sidebar(s) of your website.
Some plugins add new widgets Common widgets are the search box, recent posts, tag clouds, etc.

SECTION VIII ‐ SEO
SEO – Search Engine Optimization This is just a very very brief overview of this. Entire books have been written on this subject and people who are experts in this make huge amounts of money.
I am NOT an SEO expert (and thus am giving a free presentation )

SEO Basics
Links Matter – Get clients, friends, business partners to link to your site, ideally using some keywords you want searches to reflect. In return link to their sites.
Don’t Lie – Your summary, description and keywords should reflect the real content of your page. Trying to put keywords or other content that doesn’t match will cause you to be penalized in rankings
