I just set my son up with his very own “weblog”:http://sean.fioritto.us/blog/weblog using “WordPress”:http://www.wordpress.org. I am hosting at “Hosting Matters”:http://www.hostmatters.com and setting this up could not have been easier.
I logged into their control panel and selected to install WordPress into his subdomain. It took less than 5 minutes and he’s up and running. I like what I see so far – integrated search, support for multiple authors, easy installation and a pretty clean interface.
He just needs to tweak his stylesheets and templates and he’ll be off and running.
