Wordpress has been evolving from blogging software to building web pages as Content Management System - CMS. At first, I was skeptical but so far the experience was enjoyable. I spent over $2000 to have the i2realty.com San Jose Real Estate website developed and yet it didn’t give me the flexibility to create a dynamic website the way I wanted. For the last 3 days, I was able to get one done with no cost except for spending $10 to get the domain name.
I learned a lot from doing it yourself. Permanlink is a real pain to make it work, virtualhost is also not straight forward. Here is what I learn from my difficulties associated with Wordpress:
- Permanlink: .htaccess file needs to change to writable. Just right click the file, go to property and change permission to read and write. That will allow rewrite_modude to write new instruction when you change the permanlink format.
- Apache: httpd.conf file needs to uncomment the line LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so. Another important is to allow the directory of the wordpress permission to write in this httpd.conf file. <Directory /var/www/etc>
AllowOverride All </Directory>
Permanlink is great for SEO google search engine. It’s a must have features in any blog to help your blog ranking high in google search.
