Install WordPress On OS X
In this screencast, I cover the who and why for installing WordPress and MAMP on OS X. For web developers, this is very handy for obvious reasons. For those of us who run websites, it’s handy to serve as a testing ground. And it’s a great way for someone to get into, and learn not only WordPress, but also the other popular CMS’s that are free and available to all like joomla, phpBB, Mambo, Coppermine etc. MANM requires Mac OS X 10.4 or later…. MAMP can be found at www.mamp.info And WordPress can be found at wordpress.org My Website: dizzydoug.tv Catch me on Twitter twitter.com Xbox Live: DizzyDoug

@prigby67 Fantastic. It’s is a great way to play with CMS’s locally where you can afford to break, learn, develop etc. And you can’t beat free, right?

I love Macs. You should check out Squarespace. Very helpful vid.

@DizzyDougTV yeah im starting to get into this stuff and this vid helped me alot

@SchneiderStudios Thanks, so do I. Macs and OS X are it for me..
I’ve tried Squarespace. Played with it twice, actually. I have a ton of add-ons, widgets and customizations on my site that make moving to a new platform difficult.
If I was to start a new site, I might use it as it was pretty cool.
May 14th, 2010 at 7:03 pm
@prigby67 Right on..
May 14th, 2010 at 7:12 pm
@DizzyDougTV Oh ok. I love the new site, but the logo need some works. More readable, sharp and clear (:
May 14th, 2010 at 7:45 pm
@SchneiderStudios Thank you, sir. Yes…i hear what your saying. That header logo is a work in progress. I have a couple different ideas on how I’m going to change the header logo image for that design.
As for the design…ive been working in moving back to more of a blog style look. And i’m very happy with it so far.

@gqgk No problem…..You’re not the first person to tell me that. LOL..
May 15th, 2010 at 5:53 pm
you should add a forum to your site. i think it would make for a nice tech community. if you need help picking a software let me know. i’ve tried 4 different forum softwares.
May 15th, 2010 at 7:02 pm
@gqgk I love forums. There is one for DDTV, just haven’t made it public, yet. Built it as a testing bed for phpBB3. As for my experience with forums, ive been running them for years. One of them, just turned 4 years old last month. Until I purged posts to reduce the size of the DB for transport to a new server and upgrade from VBulletin 3 to 4, it had over 100,000 posts.
May 15th, 2010 at 7:09 pm
@DizzyDougTV i started off with phpBB2 and went to phpBB3, but i’ve tried SMF and IPB. my favorite is MyBB for sure though. that is a huge forum though!
May 15th, 2010 at 8:56 pm
@gqgk I started with phpBB 2 as well. Wasn’t impressed at all with SMF, and IBP is kinda weird…..VBulletin is rather pricey, but so freaking awesome. If the DDTV forums go live, it will be phpBB 3. And since you have experience, I may come to you to assist as a moderator. If you’d be interested…..
My Gaming And Technology forums is more a small community now, 120 members less than 20 active, and before I purged the threads we were well over 130k posts. Now at 30k+..
May 15th, 2010 at 9:51 pm
@DizzyDougTV i’d be very interested in assisting as a moderator. i have a lot of phpBB experience. i had a gaming community that was about that size but with a few less posts
May 15th, 2010 at 9:58 pm
@gqgk Awesome. I’ll be deciding on the forums very soon, hence me showing it in this video
. I’ll keep you posted and let you know if and when it goes live for registrations.

Hey man would you recommend using this for a production server?

ur voice sucks u fag head… cut your tongue and die

@asdfghqw3456 That was a great, and well formed sentence. The least you could do if you were going to insult someone, would be to use grammar.
But again, a fucking, bitch ass troll like yourself, who uses the internet and a computer for anonymity, because he doesn’t have the balls to say shit like this in real life and to someone’s face. I guess is to be expected of you. Now, isn’t it?
