The Scope

Create a Blog to document my coding progress and be able to showcase my design/development projects.

The Process

Create a logo. Buy a domain and start a WordPress Blog. Took me a bit to work out the custom domain and hosting without causing a conflict on my server. Installing a Custom theme isn’t as easy as it was with Blogger but again I managed and even customized the CSS to my liking.

The Lessons

When dealing with Databases don’t delete your blog unless you know how to restore it. Also, make sure your automatic backup service is working correctly. Media Library Backups will be invaluable if you miraculously restore a manual backup of your database that would otherwise have no images.
