I have set up my custom WordPress blog on my own server, and not on WordPress’s servers. I would like to thank http://www.tsatkin.com/wordpress-blog-setup-with-1and1-picture-tutorial/ for their tuto­rial on how to get every­thing setup on 1and1’s hosting service.

I have been playing with WordPress for the past few hours now, and am loving this bloging format. It is great to know that I have every­thing setup on my own hosting space and don’t have to worry about logging into WordPress.com. I have a lot of things to look at with WordPress and a lot of things to learn. My next step to to learn how to create custom themes and how to use WordPress as a CMS (Content Management system).
