I'd be delighted to offer any help I can on setting up your new blog but I'll need some more info first - especially as you say you've already set it up with a one-click install via Fantastico. What exactly do you mean by 'how will I start with my blog after the installation'? i.e. do you mean the blog settings? Plugins? Themes? Give me more details and I'll give all the help I can, Cheers, Martin. Hi Kerslyn,

Yes, I did found your post helpful in upgrading my wordpress 2.3 to 2.5. Anyway, I like this post re: own domain hosting. I got a domain name for my other wordpress blog and a hosting as well though I really don't have an idea on how to go about it to set-up my blog. The technical support of my hosting service provider suggested to install wordpress thru fantastico. Now, I'm done with it. My next question is....how will I start with my blog after the installation. Hope you can help me with this. Thank you! hi Martin! thanks for the visit to my site.

Google clearly hasn't tumbled to the fact that some people live outside their country of origin..! Glad you found it useful and good luck with setting up WP. By all means drop me a line if you get stuck - I've just escorted someone else through the process of migrating their blog from Blogger to self-hosted WP, so I may be able to help if necessary. Cheers, Martin. Thanks Barton!

I'm glad you found it useful and I'm glad you're using the web 2.0 marketing approach. I think you'll need to post an article more often than once every 2 weeks, though, for your efforts to be effective. Either way - enjoy and good luck..! Cheers, Martin. John, hi,

They covered some, but definitely not all, of the functionality that’s in the All-in-One - so I'm definitely better off now. Firstly, it activated with absolutely no problems. Secondly, I really like it so far, because it’s enabled me to easily set up META keywords and descriptions for not just the blog, but also for each individual post as I write them. It was possible to do that before by editing the theme files but that was a real pain! It offers a lot of configuration options, mostly relating to titles for the blog, individual pages, categories and tags, but I'm currently just using the defaults throughout. Basically I’m delighted with it so far, but I’ll be able to offer more thoughts on how it’s benefitted my traffic in a month or so. If you have any specific questions on it let me know and I'll do my best to answer them! Cheers, Martin Rowell, hi,

Yes - Google periodically translate things into Chinese for me: they're currently putting Chinese character modules on my home page, despite that fact that my home page url is the International one specifying the language as English!

Welcome to Hong Kong! I have a few remote blogger blogs that I'm always kinda feeling I'm looking over my shoulder to see what Google will do. One of them actually has a PR 3 on some pages and ranks of first page of Google for some of my keywords. So, the transfer is a little tricky. Good information and an enjoyable read on a topic I really didn't wanna read. Thanks, Walt Hey Martin,
