quick help: setting up blogger

[Goosemaster]

Sup epople. I need quick help at this late hour.

I have my own domain of which the subdomain, opinion.mysite.com , is where i want my blog to be published from blogger.com

I suck at this though, so I need your help. Basically, I have a nice new html account setup and a nice new subdomain setup which created a "opinion" folder in my public_html folder. What now?

info:

The ftp root is set to the "public_html" folder

Nevermind

My OP

since you are using your own hosting and your own domain, soon you will grow out of blogger.com and would want to install your own blog sytem.

use WordPress then. very very easy to install and a whole lot of possibilities to expand.

wordpress is a blog software that you installed on your own space (think CMS, like phpnuke, etc) so you have total control over what you want it to look like via stylesheets.

i'll pm you some of my friends' blog for samples.

thanks; I really don't want to spend too much time on designing it. I just want to free a few ATOT gigabytes of traffic a month

 

[cronos]

sure
like i said, this is for later if you find out that you need more flexibility.

 

[Goosemaster]

nice...I might try that one day

 

[Goosemaster]

Hopefully I can get this to work later

Stil haven't figured how to get the admin part to work

Another vote for Wordpress.

I see that you're hosted with Dixiesys, which control panel are you using?

Ensim, Plesk, or DirectAdmin?

 

[Goosemaster]

DA...it works I think iused to have plesk in the past with them

 

[RossMAN]

Does your DirectAdmin offer Installatron?

 

[Goosemaster]

I fI knew how to do this, I would be happy with wordpress. Still, it looks like a lot of work since I am satisfyied with text and pics

Like you say, for the future..THAT , hopefully, will be the future

no...or at least dixie didn;t put it in

I had to set up the forums with help from people....forums.myhsr.com

 

[Goosemaster]

My main problem is with simpleviewer...I can't configure the webadmin mod It says my php distro might not have xml or something
