This series of articles, originally written by me during 2008-2009 still has parts that are relevant today.<\/p>\n
Installing plugins and configuring your settings really isn't any different and how you create a post or page is still pretty much the same.<\/p>\n
There are, of course, parts that are very not relevant, when these were written there was no “block editor” in WordPress.<\/p>\n
There are also some things I would do differently now, for example some of the plugins are no longer active, or I've found ones I like better, and I've made do with less.<\/p>\n
But the basics of setting up a blog are still pretty much the same.<\/p>\n
