How do you get Blog WordPress?

Maybe it’s easy for you who have usual (read: expert) on internet to register to WordPress site and follow step by step. But for beginner users that can be so difficult. They are usually confusing about where  and how to register, how do they validate their new account, and how they get start.

I hope all of you will be helped by reading this posting. OK, let’s start it…

1. There are two types of WordPress. First is Blog WordPress like another usual blog such as Blogsome, Blogger, Blogster, Blogfam, TBlog etc. You can register by visiting WordPress.com and second is CMS WordPress. You can get it by downloading package from WordPress.org. It’s not so big, just about 1 MB. Now the version have reached 2.21 (when I read this posting).
2. I will tell you about the first one. Type WordPress.com on your browser and press enter.
3. Click Sign Up to go to registration page.
4. Fill in blank form your data such as blog name, blog tittle, your e-mail address and so on.
5. WordPress will send you link to your e-mail address.
6. Then check your inbox and click the link on it to validate your registration.
7. You will see new page that appear your login name and your password. Remember it or just copy then paste to password form.
8. The important thing you should do next is changing your password. You can click on the WordPress taskbar link named Users.
9. Then find out another link named Your Profile. Scroll down your page until you get Update Your Password. Type your new password twice. Click Update Profile to finish.
10. Now you’re ready starting your blog. Your can start by clicking Write, then write your first post  and publis it.

A Little Bit Stories about Ubuntu Linux

Ubuntu, one of Popular GNU/Linux distributions (called distro) was derivated from Debian Distro. It has become the most popular disto in the world and maybe in Indonesia, too. Why? because we can get Ubuntu CDs freely by requesting from official Ubuntu site. This feature called ShipIt. Ubuntu team will send us Ubuntu CDs based on the order in ShipIt. It will arrive to our home about a month if you’re Indonesian or it depends on distance.Ubuntu has at leas four varios packages based on its desktop environment. For example:

Free E-book Labeled Majalah Linux and Open Source

I got this free e-book about three weeks ago from PPTIK, the place where I can get “free” access internet. Although the specification of computers there are not so high but that’s no matter because the internet speed is fast enough. I finished download Majalah Linux in short time because it just about 4 MB in size.I saved it in my flash disk then took it home. I will read it at home so that I still have enough time to do another activity such as renew/update my antivirus AVG Free, download mp3 files, check my e-mail and so on. After finished surf internet, I decided to do sholat Dhuhur and then go home.

Majalah Linux gave me the newest information about Open Source, GNU/Linux etc. From it I knew that Head of Free Software Foundation, Richard M. Stallman didn’t have mp3 files. He didn’t have cellphone, too. So, how we can communicate with him while he go shopping?

Here is another short news from Majalah Linux:
- KDE 4.0 will be released on October 2007.
- You can visit http://www.osalt.com/ to get open source software as alternative your comercial software.
- Tips how to open Mozilla Firefox on Mozilla Firefox itself.
- Use your liveCD Linux to do PCJacking
- and many more…
