webmaster n00b

[Ivar T]

Looked at this hosting service because the other free hosting services offering cPanel required the text to be in English, I was planning on a website in norwegian - expanding the autistic community (by and for autistics, parents-of-autistic dominated organizations tend to the wrong place to be for auties like me) that I have become familiar with in the english speaking world.

 

I am a n00b, I bet the 45 minute FTP upload of the whole already unzipped Wordpress program to the pop-up ad infested hosting area http://autie.orgfree.com was not the right way to do it, and I bet that is the reason as to why my blog is so buggy.

 

I hear that cPanel can install wordpress with a click, sounds better, no ads too if I happen to post 25 messages a month on this forum - I like it.

 

At least I have become familiar with HTML, CSS and just begun figuring out JavaScript - at least so that it works for Firefox ;-p

becomes!

[Ivar T]

Also, keep in mind that it takes approximately 24 hours to activate your account. If you do not get a confirmation page; do NOT attempt to remake it. It won't work and it'll probably delete them both. If you don't get a confirmation page you should contact djbob to make sure it was successful. If it wasn't then he'll tell you to remake it.

 

Also, unless you have a paid domain, make sure you choose .heliohost.org for your domain.

I got the 24 hour waiting period, seems like I have to wait some days as I'm off-net for some days on a trip with my family.

 

Norway mountains.

[Sungazer]

Wow those mountains are beautiful I am truly jealous!

Hi Ivar! Your account has been activated. To install Wordpress, simply click the Fantastico link in your cPanel (http://stevie.heliohost.org/cpanel) and it should be self-explanatory from there

[Ivar T]

Thanks!

 

I guess staying up to 1 AM was worth it, get to look at the cPanel before I trip tomorrow.
