I’m almost done setting up the new blog. I’ve decided to keep the same template but make some tweaks to the header images (lots of new ones!). Once this goes live you guys will hopefully be happy with the load speed. It is light years faster than BlueHost. I won’t be turning certain features back on (such as gallery, the twitch page, etc) until I go over some other new plugins I’ve discovered, but for the most part everything necessary to run the site is in place. I’ll have one more website to port over, sadly that will have to wait until the weekend most likely just to make sure I have plenty of time allotted to give it proper care; once I start something it’s pretty difficult for me to stop. I think I’ll read up on how to install MediaWiki, or get some animation done. Been a few days since I’ve last touched SFM.
If anyone is curious to see the new site in its beta phase I can share a link. Just make contact with me and I’ll put you on the waiting slacking list. I would be interested in knowing how fast it loads with more than a couple people accessing it and maybe some other potential discoveries.
Once I have all of this taken care of I’m thinking of writing up my own tutorial for setting up a wordpress install. It isn’t that difficult, but some of the things I had to do were not all that well documented; taking a small bit of guesswork to get resolve certain things. For example I still find it strange that CentOS 7 didn’t come with firewalld installed by default? O_o
Link me up! 🙂
