Getting started with a custom Wordpress

For the external client project I mentioned before, another of the tasks was to get them set up and integrated with a custom Wordpress. Basically, Wordpress will be a free Content Management System.

There is almost a definitive set of pages on the Wordpress.org site, nicknamed Codex, but just looking at a page is enough to confuse a newcomer to the technology. It is very text heavy.

Fortunately, just two days ago, Webdesigner Wall posted a how-to guide. It goes through from start to finish, detailing how to get Wordpress up and running on your own server. Furthermore, it isn't just a slab of text. It has images and breaks the process up into steps.

Really handy should you ever need it in the future, for a free way to provide CMS for a client. View the tutorial.
