Just discovered Wordpress 3 hours ago, I am such a N00b...
 

http://adultcontentnl.wordpress.com/

Just getting the hang of it and trying to figure out how everything works.
So far it looks rather intuative and easy to use once you find your way around.

Any advise from experiences users I could use on WP for my site?

Get it on your own server.:2 cents:

What are the pro's and con's of having it on your own server?
(Just test driving it all currently to see if I can use it)

QFT
Do it, do it now. It's so lightweight you could put it on shared hosting.
Hey look at that. In my sig, there's shared hosting super cheap with free domains and private reg and shit!

Welcome to the blogosphere, as young said host your own copy. Read the famous 5 minute install process here: http://codex.wordpress.org/Installing_WordPress

wordpress.com don't allow adult blogs

Thanks for the link.

OMG, yes do it on your own...

jesus christ... and they let you on panels?

:winkwink:

So if I move it to my own domain, it is ok to use?

Of course you can do that just to remind you that free blog hostings like wordpress.com or blogger don't allow adult. There are adult free blog hosts like thumblogger.

But having your own wordpress install blogs is the real deal :thumbsup plus it's not really hard to get know wordpress

Hehe, just using it hobby wise to see what it is all about because everybody keeps posting about wordpress. Actually I wanted to find out about make a site for my friends with pics and keep it restricted for them with user/passes, but somehow I ended up working again at midnight.

They let me in on panels but not because of my blogging skills or being an expert on using templates/scripts :winkwink:

I know, just kiddin yo

When is a blog considered "Adult"?
I just wanted to use it as corporate info and copy press releases without pics.

When it has nudity, their hosted blog will do fine to get your feet wet. Nothing wrong with hosted blogs anyway, but the option to host your own is nice to know about for later. :thumbsup

In your company logo i can see boobs maybe it better to ask someone there just to make sure. Why don't you install wordpress on your host it's piece of cake

:pimp :thumbsup

Gonna check out that link. Thanks!

They do allow it...but they frown upon it.

You will be removed from the public directory and your blog will be invisible to search engines and the community.

You will still be able to get type in traffic or point your domain to it.

Just test driving it currently. But this thread has many good and well meant advise in it.
Much appriciated!

If it's installed on one of my severs, I could use adult pics then?
So as long WP doesn't host it, it's ok to use hardcore pics?

Sounds like good news (and SEO wise if linked from other sites) :2 cents:

Nope, Ive seen total deletions. :2 cents:

The hardest pic seen on http://adultcontentnl.wordpress.com would be 2 nipples.
Could that be a reason to be deleted ?
Would just text (with mild pics) be tolerated you think?

use hostgator for cheap share hosting for the start , they allow you adult blogs, super support through live chat with technicians - they are online anytime. for 9 bucks / month nothing better with c panel in it, worpress install through fantastico - very easy.

you can check my www.camhd.TV on it too :-)

I've guess you have heard that many people on here have adult blogs. Yes you can have adult related blog as long your host allows you to host adult content :)

It is easy to install yourself, grab or use an existing domain or even a new subdomain like blog.domain.com. Create a MYSQL a database and user with full rights to that DB on your server. Follow the instructions exactly, it will work.

Then you don't have to guess and have control of the domain/traffic.

Best of luck.

Not looking for cheap hosting :winkwink:
We already have more adult ad views then youtube has page views per day.
It's just a hobby project and I'm trying to gather intel on what's allowed or not and how to use WP.

That's what I wanted to hear. Thanks for the info :thumbsup We colo everything so that shoud be ok if i used one of my own domains on any given server.

Than definately dedicated , if you wana the automatic installation of wordpress on it , may be for more blogs in the future , then with fantastico again with combo with c panel would be my option.

you should look after a good nice theme for your wordpress to install under themes folder.There are tons of them , but just few of them fit the best for you, plenty of them free ,others for fee.

My was 99 usd.

I use Wordpress on all my sites like my VOD site and my content site in my sig, not just blogs.

seems like we had the same idea, i just started to work on http://blog.amazingcontent.com ;)

Dude, he runs an advertising network & already has boxes.

i might try it today

I heard it's mostly just for gay people, like twitter. :(

after you install, i would recommend this plug in.

WordPress is all around platform for any kind of sites not only blogs. WordPress is a perfect CMS. People are building portals, personal sites and even paysites on it. There are also some themes that turns WordPress into TGP or Tube.

You're on fire.
