6:28pm…
Core plugins have been activated and Wordpress mostly configured. Wordpress automatic update worked brilliantly. Took about 30 seconds, and caused no problems. It probably helps that I’m starting nearly from scratch. WP-Cache is still disabled since I’m going to be template hacking soon, and I don’t want caching messing with my head.
The Textile 2 plugin blanked my front page, so I’m considering using Text Control instead. For now, I’m just gonna write full HTML straight into posts :-/
I decided to use a /year/month/postname/ format for permalinks. I wanted to give some date context in the URL, but didn’t think including the day made sense. Also, this exactly mirrors the file structure of uploads when you allow WP to automatically organize them. That may come in handy some time.
Since this is a client-facing site, I elected to turn on comment moderation… again, not that I’m worried about being inundated with comments.
Next step, to install a bare-bones template, then start deciding what content to include.
