WordPress installed as a testbed

I installed WordPress (blogging software) with a new webhost today, and the testbed blog is up and running. It wasn’t five minutes, for a few reasons, but it wasn’t brutal. Still, not something I’d encourage anyone to try who doesn’t already know a little bit about FTP and databases. The host, TextDrive, was incredibly responsive via e-mail support over the last 48 hours or so. That’s the good news. The bad news is that I needed their responsiveness for two separate issues, first with changing my initial account password and then with glitches logging into myPhpAdmin. On the whole, the responsiveness of the support overshadows the need for the support, but I’ve still got several steps to take before I’ll move clock over to WordPress on a new host. I am grateful for these detailed instructions on importing a Radio blog to WordPress. I’ll be putting them to the test eventually.
