I know that if you guys got Leopard on your PC you probably made a website too. I have one. It's an Install Guide for Kalyway. If you have a website feel free to show it off here!!!

My site:

Http://Leopardx86.homeunix.com (Yes it's a free domain name)

Hi MacTamer:

Very attractive and informative page. I'll be sure to look this up once I make to leap to Leopard some day.

I'm still running Tiger, but I was able to setup some simple Web Pages.

My Main Page:
http://dluck007.dyndns.org

My OSx86 Page:
http://dluck007.dyndns.org/OSx86/

My website is http://www.inerdtech.com

I had an idea to make a universal technology community where everybody can be happy and post about what they want! The redesign just finished a month ago, and we have almost no members. I'm happy to see that they at least build up over time. I want to imagine where my site would be in a year from now. smile.gif

Hi MasterOfComputer:

Nice website you have there. I like the layout and graphics, and you've even got a forum.

My website is *very* simple compared to yours.

One of the first (not THE first, ONE of the first) OSx86 sites after InsanelyMac. Not only OSx86, this site has content for anyone, including Windows, Mac OS X(86), Linux, and OS X on VMware. This site has member registration options, comment system, RSS feeds, a forum, a blog where I post reviews, tips, news, and all that, and even a wiki where users can contribute their own knowledge. Its an ever growing full featured community with members coming in every day!

Have fun smile.gif

I'm thinking about adding a blog to mine. just to keep people up to date on the OSx86 news.

When i made my site i was trying to decide if it would be for Jailbreaking the iPhone or for OSx86. Guess it's kinda obvious which i chose. smile.gif

It took Google forever to find my site. It was up for a month before they found it and they only found part of it... so i came to places like here and YouTube to try and promote it.
~pcwiz
Yeah, a blog does make a nice addition smile.gif One thing about your site, the "OSx86 Scene" link links to InsanelyMac, OSx86 Scene is a separate site (not affiliated with InsanelyMac):

http://www.osx86scene.com/

Unless you meant to link it the above URL, you should change the link title to "InsanelyMac" or "OSx86 Project"

Oops good point. I ment to make it link to OSx86 Project. I'll change that real quick.

Fixed! I just decided to link directly to InsanelyMac since InsanelyMac links to the OSx86 Project. wink.gif

I have comments on the install page now! I really beginning to like iTweak!

MacTamer,

If you want a blog system I highly recommend you install WordPress. It's easy to set up and moderate. I'm using that for my blog. And, if you want to go one step further, you can make forums with either PHPbb or SMF. They both work and integrate beautifully. biggrin.gif

Do these work well with Apache? I really would like a blog but I'm using iWeb and i don't really want to buy an iDisk (or to be more specific I WON'T buy an iDisk). But i would also like to stay away from coding as much as possible sad.gif (a little is fine).

Uhm, how are you hosted? Well, more specifically, does your host give you PHP/MySQL support?


btw, I updated a few things on my site smile.gif

I'm running it off of a server at home. I could probably build it in if i had to.

Yes, install those two then.

MacTamer, Joomla is a great tool for strong ALL AROUND sites. My entire site is built on a slightly modified Joomla with full CAPTCHA security, forum, wiki, comment system, PM system, Blog (WordPress powered), and all that. If you just want a blog, go for WordPress, if you just want a forum, go with phpBB or SMF (phpBB has more theme/extension support but SMF tends to be more secure), if you want a site with everything, go for Joomla.

I don't really want a forum... that's what InsanelyMac is for. smile.gif

I just would like a blog and a commenting system (haloscan is okay but...). It looks like Apache has PHP/SQL built in. So now what? Go to the website and read the instructions.?
~pcwiz
OK, then what you want is WordPress. Here is the Famous 5 Minute install method for installing WordPress. Good luck smile.gif

P.S. Apache doesn't have MySQL and PHP built in, those need to be installed separately. You can find PHP here and MySQL here. Or you can save the trouble and install either LAMP for Linux or WAMP for Windows which is Apache, PHP, and MySQL all bundled up smile.gif

My site is now running on WAMP5! That was pretty easy! smile.gif

Now i just need to get my Blog going... wink.gif
~pcwiz
Setting up WordPress with the 5 minute guide is very easy, you shouldn't have any problems there smile.gif
MacTamer
Does the 5 minute guide really take 5 minutes?

All my copying has to be done over a network. My server is headless... Shouldn't be that hard... the WAMP root is shared over the network... and if i have to i can VNC into my server.
~pcwiz
Well...if you've installed WordPress a lot of times then it should only take 5 minutes, but if you are new it would probably take longer smile.gif Nevertheless it is very easy to do, all you do is setup database >> copy WordPress files to server >> insert database details into wp-config.php and upload file >> run online setup.

I'll do all that after i get a new cable modem. Mine is near dying and needs to be replaced.

Unless he can get a copy of Fantastico or Installatron to automatically do the install for him. I'd install a cPanel smile.gif

A cPanel as in a server???
~pcwiz
cPanel is a web hosting control panel software, it has a component called Fantastico that can auto install WordPress for you smile.gif
MacTamer
I assume that cPanel costs money? I'm going to go ahead and try to install WordPress now. It looks simple enough...
~pcwiz
Yes, cPanel costs money but lots of paid hosts and some free hosts (like X10Hosting) include free cPanel with their hosting packages.

Yes, both cPanel, Fantastico, and Installatron cost money. sad.gif
