Took the Blogger blog down this afternoon. Culled its content and put what I wanted to keep on williambryanmiller.com, as well as some new material.

Perry, I've emailed you the promised personalized epub and mobi of the book. You receive special acknowledgment on the epigraph page:



4wd, what do you want written for your name? (PM me)

I don't understand where all these subscribers to my Wordpress blog are coming from. It's been up less than two days and I have ten subscribers... not complaining, just surprised.

Got my second Goodreads review of Kyrathaba Rising, and it's a dandy!

Is there a widget or something I can set up that'll show the members who have joined? I had one person join, but I only know of it because of an alert email. I can find the person under Users, but I'd like something on the landing page that shows a list of members. Another question, I assume users (Subscriber is the default I assign them) can reply to posts but not start posts, and can comment, right?

You can get to other posts via Recent Posts, Archives, and Categories. I haven't put up a lot of content yet. I'll be transferring write-ups about some of my C# apps, and asking Perry and 4wd to write a bit about their experience editing/proofing (and, in Perry's case, designing the cover image) for Kyrathaba Rising.

Thanks, rgdot.

I've installed plug-in Akismet. Any other "must haves" in the plug-ins category?

wraith, thanks for the space. rgdot, thanks for the setup. Appreciate both your contributions to my ongoing efforts to build an author platform.

I've at least got a landing page so far.

Ok, I'm now uploading all 1,000+ files from the Wordpress folder to the public_html folder. Still wouldn't mind your help in setting it up, wraith or rgdot. Not at all conversant with php or DBs.

You don't upload the wp folder, justs contents, if I understand. And the contents (files and subdirs) should be uploaded to /public_html

The Wordpress directory is currently located at the same level as directories "public_html" and "public_ftp".

Ok, Wordpress is now uploaded to root. Beyond that, I'm out of my depth fooling with php file configs to connect to DB, etc. Like I said, if I can talk one of you guys into handling it, it'd be safer probably.

I uploaded at the same directory depth as /cgi-bin/ (I think that's right). wraith, if you don't care to take a look at setting it up (tying it to a data base, adding Suffusion, etc), I left the password just as it was when you assigned it.

Do I upload the Wordpress directory alongside /cgi-bin/ and my root folder /kyrathab/ ? Or do I need to go into my /kyrathab/ folder to install it?

@rgdot. I downloaded version 3.5.2. I think that's the most up to date. I assume I upload to subdirectory /public_html/, correct?

Thanks, wraith!

Got setup via cPanel.

Successfully connected via FTP using Filezilla.

I've downloaded Wordpress and Suffusion.
