NewYouAcademy.com Initial Setup

This entry is part 1 of 1 in the series Building NewYouAcademy.com

I installed WordPress MultiUser finally. I created a knowledgebase item for reference and hope that I don’t have this same issue the next time I attempt an install. Basically it appears that there is a bit of lag time from the time you upload the files until the install screen appears. I waited a day and the setup page magically appeared!

So here I am at a new forefront. Time to start building this badboy!

Here’s a list of the things I need to learn and the steps I see I need to take:

  • Change the Tagline.
  • Change the Timezone.
  • Delete the default post and page.
  • Rename Uncategorized Category: to Articles
  • Rename the Link Categories: to Links
  • Delete The Blogroll
  • Change The Permalink Structure: to /%postname%/
  • Change Size of the post box to 20 lines (Settings>Writing)
  • Learn whats the best for site setup: http://www.kb.com or http://kb.com.
  • Learn about security considerations.
  • Install amember.
  • Choose a default theme.
  • Choose 5 starter themes for sub blogs.
  • Figure out how the main blog works so that I can control the front interface of the site.
  • Determine which plugins I need.
  • Test adding a blog from the admin.
  • Test adding a blog from the main page.

That seems like a pretty good start. Let’s roll!!
