Easy Wordpress Install Using SVN

Wow. Here’s how I installed my blog software on my web site here in about twenty minutes.

I followed the instructions here at the wordpress wiki to install Wordpress 2.5 on my shared textdrive.com server. Here’s the standard instructions. It’s easy either way. I’ve installed WP three times now this year, and it’s never taken more than a few minutes to get the bare bones operating. . . Of course, setting up your theme or template and customizing your blog can never be all finished, but it sure is fun to learn CSS with the help of the google and the wordpress wiki.

And here’s more good news! The themes repository will soon be running a subversion database so your theme can be installed and updated in a similar, easy way! See http://themes.wordpress.net
Update:
The second painless upgrade I just performed on this wordpress blog
using subversion and instructions for which are here
required about five minutes including a quick database and theme backup. Now I am proudly and safely running Wordpress 2.6.1.
