WP question

[Ryan Ward]

In WordPress, under general options there are fields that allow for you to type in url's for a WP address and a blog address. Should they be the same? What's the difference?

I think people can look up your profile on WP... and it will have your website listed in there. You can upload an Avatar as well... but once it's uploaded, you can't see it anywhere. (This is why I assume it goes in your profile)

Hey Ryan, I ment to ask you, did you purchase domain names for your WP blogs?

[Ryan Ward]

Hi Jim,

Yes I did. I used 1and1.com and pay them for hosting...They have several packages so if you do one, you should consider getting a plan with FTP access so you can customize the blog....

Hey Ryan, Your blog http://www.ryanwardrealestate.com/ WordPress/
Did you use the domain mapping? Also are you using the free blog from word press and just ftp to the webhost?

[Ryan Ward]

Not sure what domain mapping is, but, the ryanwardrealestate.com/WordPress was put on by REW...I have FTP access to it..

The others I have hosted on 1and1. For them you get a database and you just download the WP files (free, like you said) to your computer and use FTP to upload to the domain of your choice. then download whatever plugins you want, and use FTP to upload them.

They are usually the same. Blog address would be different if the homepage of the site you have your blog on is different from the homepage of your blog.
