My Stock Trading Blog Is Online
Well, it took over a month, but last night I launched my Stock Trading Techniques blog (see http://www.stocktradingtechniques.com/). It is running on my own host using WordPress blogging software. The host and WordPress have been flawless the entire time.
Where I did have problems was with the templates (see I Finally Resolved My Template Problems). When you install WordPress you try to select a template that gives your blog a “theme” that is taylored to a look and feel that is intended to promote the message your blog is trying to convey.
Templates support “plugins,” which are pre-programmed functions you can selectively install to enhance your bog (most are free). Different templates and plugins work together in different ways. The template I used had some bugs, mainly due to old versions of plugins that came with the template and because of some configuration problems I made due to my lack of knowledge about the plugins I was using.
