Wordpress

Anyone use Wordpress here? How long does it usually to get a wordpress site up and running - what are your favorite themes & plugins?

Hi!
I'm a wordpress user and I have a website with wordpress.

If you want to setup a linux server with wordpress, you can follow my tutorial https://freevps.us/thread-5800.html
It won't take more than 20 minutes and isn't difficult. If you have any problem or question, just reply to the thread
Then you can choose your favourite theme, write some articles and pages and your site will be ready for the web!

The plugins are also extremely easy to install: you can do it in the web interface!

And WordPress install shouldn't take much more then ~10 minutes.

Some off my favorite plugins for WordPress have to be:

• W3 Total Cache - The best caching engine for WordPress.
• WordPress SEO - Best SEO plugin for WordPress.
• WP-PageNavi - A more advanced paging navigation interface.
• Google Analytics for WordPress - I use Google Analytics for all my sites.
• Markdown on Save Improved - Let's you write your posts in Markdown.
• Contact Form 7 - Easy and simple contact form plugin.

I'm also using Wordpress for a few blogs like my own blog (aka Serial Thrilla's Blog) or the blog of my friend from Munich called SiNGULARiTY - Knowledge is free. I had a few other sites (not blogs) made with Wordpress in the past but they all died. So the only two blogs/sites I have are my own one and SiNGULARiTY. Both blogs have some similar plugins but totally different theme sets.


Themes:
- Typebased from WooThemes (Serial Thrilla's Blog) - http://www.woothemes.com/2008/11/typebased/
- Dusk to Dawn by Automattic (SiNGULARiTY) - http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/dusk-to-dawn


Plugins:
- WPtouch - http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wptouch/
- WP-Table Reloaded - http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-table-reloaded/
- Akismet - http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/akismet/
- SyntaxHighlighter Evolved - http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/syntaxhighlighter/
- All in one Favicon - http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/all-in-one-favicon/
- Artiss YouTube Embed - http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/youtube-embed/

wow! I like the theme of your Singularity blog. How can you make the background color change when you scroll the page? Seems that you have an image background + a gradient color sem-trasparent.

I think a useful wordpress plugin is Page-Links-To, which allows you to create a new page which is just a link.

if you have enough experience in installing scripts, you can get it up in minutes..

There is this very famous "Wordpress 5 Minutes Installation Guide".

WordPress took me 10 minutes to install, it would have been around 5 if I didn't have to set up so many permissions and the database

I am using wordpress from last 2 years and its take very less time to get install and very user friendly to manage content from it as i think.

I am using corporate theme of wordpress provided by themeforest.
