Wordpress for beginner?

The CMS WordPress is the basic issue which means you can change designs any time, while the content and settings are the same in most cases. There are plenty of professional themes available online as well as staffing solutions for many companies. Aside from design changes, you can choose what functionality you have in your WordPress website. Thanks to various widgets and plugins you can create a real monster with features that would cost tens of thousands of dollars for custom-ordered for a custom website.

There are many reasons why websites are so popular WordPress, I'll list a few for which I personally like a lot. 


1) For years now WordPress is still the cheapest option of having a website built. It is widely used by developers and web companies to create satellite web sites (such as the network of websites dedicated to different templates TemplateMonster categories) as well as by the spammers (although usually the free use of property or wordpress host org.) The system is free and there are plenty of professional themes available online.
2) Create a WordPress website is the quickest way to build an online presence for your business.
3) You can manage your website in a form suitable for its own account without paying the developer of an hourly rate to perform the updates.
4) System is SEO WordPress by default (though of course there are improvements that can be done). Google loves WordPress blogs.
5) You can change designs any time you're doing. No extra charge and without any special setup.
6) WordPress capabilities are endless. There are thousands of plugins available free and requires no special skill to use most of them.

As a PHP Expert Ah my first WordPress site I was pretty lost and could not understand what it is. I found a lot of information in different places and was trying to put things together for hours. Now has a new website setup WordPress takes me no more than 30 minutes. This guide is for beginners and those who are thinking of creating your first WordPress blog. Do not panic, there is nothing that can not be done! 


The use of WordPress is large in size 

1. Hosting and domain name registration.


You can have your Web site WordPress installed on your server and therefore have a domain name or host for free at WordPress and choose a website as "bestdesigns.wordpress.com." I recommend creating a domain name and hosting and separately spamy this seems less and more professional.

Most companies offer hosting and domain registration all in one place. It may happen that you have a registered domain name in one place and the hosting account on the other. In this case all you have to do is ask your hosting provider to send the name servers named (ns) you should e-mail to your domain register.This ensure that their domain name associated with accommodation and web page displays your uploaded to the server.

Now about hosting requirements. All you need is the version of PHP 4. 3 or higher and MySQL version 4.1.2 or later running on the server. If you have no idea what is php and database, e-mail the following to your hosting provider and see what they say:
"I'm interested in running the open source WordPress blog and I wondered if my account supported the following:
* PHP 4.3 or higher
* MySQL 4.1.2 or higher
* The Apache mod_rewrite module
Thanks! "



2. Download WordPress.


For the Web site running on the WordPress CMS first need to download the WordPress software for your team. It is highly recommended to use the latest version of WordPress that can be found here http://wordpress.org/download/ Once saved on your hard disk, unzip the files.


3. Adding your information.


Open the folder containing the files and search WordPress wp-config-sample.php. Rename wp-config-sample.php to wp-config.php and open it in any text editor. This is where you have to fill in the details of your database. Sign in to your hosting panel and look for the MySQL section. Create a new database and save the information in the file. If you're not sure how you created the database you can contact your hosting provider for assistance.

Complete the database data in the wp-config.php file, save it and close it. Now we are ready to move forward.



4. Uploading files to your server.

If you've never uploaded the files to a previous server you may find it a bit complicated, but it's easy once you understand how it works. Upload files to the server is almost the same as copying files from a folder on your computer to another. The only difference is that files copied to the remote computer and therefore need the username and password to access it.

Sign in to your hosting panel and look something like FTP accounts. Create a new user and make the information: name, FTP username and password. Go to http://www.coreftp.com/ and download the client called FTP. Follow the installation instructions. Once finished, add a new account and connect to your server with your FTP information. 

5. Installing WordPress. 

Once the upload is complete you need to install WordPress. Open the browser and go to / www.mywebsitename.com / wp-admin install.php That's it! WordPress should now be installed. After installation will be given a password and randomly generated for the area of administration. Save the file. 

6. The choice of design theme.


After installation of WordPress should be able to see their website at www.mywebsitename.com. The WordPress is installed with the default theme is most likely to change and here's how.

As I mentioned at the beginning of this post, there are hundreds if not thousands of professionals free WordPress themes available online. There are also several companies where you can buy a theme for WordPress, but I would not recommend it. Firstly why spend money if you can get stuff for free? Second, there is special support forums for almost all free themes, where you can have all the answers to your questions from users and subject to mistakes he makes himself the option of a template that has just arrived as is almost zero and get support. As a rule, free themes have more advanced functionality, as they are created by property developers and not by a group of people taught how to code a number of things.



7. Access to your blog admin area.


To access the web administration area www.mywebsitename.com/wp-admin/ click here and enter username and password you received after installation. You are in

Once you are prompted to connect to the main page content management system WordPress. You may be overwhelmed by the number of buttons, links and other options, but very soon get used to it. The main management menu is left and there are plenty of adjustments to play. You can hardly spoil anything, so you do research in this exciting work for you.


8. Setting the topic and update the general configuration.



To activate the theme that have risen in 9 go to Appearance>> Topics in the left menu panel. You should see the list of available topics. Click on the item you want to use and confirm your choice.

To define the title of your website and some of the main settings go to Settings> General.

That's it for today. By now you have your new WordPress website running online. You can play with the admin area to see how to add new jobs and create new pages of text. In our next post we will tell you about some necessary and useful plugins, and settings that make your user and search engine friendly.

PHP Framworks ? Why ?

Today, I am going to talk about some of the popular MVC (Model View Controller) PHP frameworks.  PHP Expert  people has asked me what is CakePHP, or What is CodeIgniter? How to to use them ? When to use them ? Today, I’m going to talk about PHP frameworks which I’ve used. Please note that the choice of choosing a framework is personal preference and the statement and this post is not going to say that this framework is better than this framework.

Well, there are many benefits of using PHP frameworks, we will see some major benefits from its use.

1. They PHP frameworks is a design pattern, so when you use this framework to follow your coding convention that makes your code clean and extensible for future purpose.
2. The popular PHP frameworks like CakePHP, CodeIgniter, Zend Framework, Symfony is Model View Controller (MVC) design that separates business logic from user interface that makes the code more clean and extensible.
3. As everyone can guess, these frameworks contain a large number of libraries to make your job easier. For example, to validate one of you can not write code all we have in the normal stage of coding, only a few lines of code that calls the library may be sufficient for this.
4. While working on a large project on a computer, these PHP MVC framework is a great tool for development, you can assign a developer to develop MVC of a module to a developer and is very easy integration of these modules developed in the final level .
5. These MVC framework really helps you develop the project quickly, if you know a good framework so you do not have to worry about the project deadline.
6. Most of these frameworks MVC approach uses clear url to your web project, SEO friendly.

Also, if you want to charge money for visitors to download content or access its Web site, this software is very useful.

What is PHP?

Hypertext Preprocessor is a widely used scripting language for general purpose that was originally designed for web development to generate dynamic web pages.

What distinguishes PHP from something like client-side JavaScript is that the code runs on the server, generating HTML that is sent to the client. The client will receive the results of running on the server, but do not know what the underlying code was. You can even configure your web server to process all HTML files with PHP, and then there's really no way that users can say what you have up his sleeve.

Best to use PHP is that it is extremely simple for a newcomer, but offers many advanced features for professional programmers. Do not be afraid reading the long list of features of PHP. You can jump quickly and start writing simple scripts in a few hours.

What can you do with PHP?

Anything. PHP is mainly focused on scripting server side, so you can do anything any other CGI program can do, such as collect form data, generate dynamic page content, or send and receive cookies. However, PHP can do much more.

There are three main areas where PHP scripts are used.

* On the server side scripting. This is the most traditional and main target of work. You need three things to make this work. The PHP parser (CGI or server module), a web server and a web browser. You need to run the web server with PHP installed. You can access the PHP program output with a web browser, viewing the PHP page through the server. All of these can run on your machine at home if you are just experimenting with PHP programming. See the setup instructions for more information.

* Command line scripting. You can make a PHP script and run it without any server or browser. You only need the PHP parser to use it this way. This type of usage is ideal for scripts regularly executed using cron (on Unix or Linux) or Task Scheduler (on Windows). These scripts can also be used for simple tasks of word processing. See the section on the line usage of PHP for more information.

* Writing desktop applications. PHP is probably not the best language to create a desktop application with a graphical user interface, but if you know PHP very well, and would like to use some advanced features in the client-side applications can also use PHP-GTK to write such programs . You also have the ability to write cross-platform applications this way. PHP-GTK is an extension of PHP, not available in the main distribution.
