Ok, I have installed WordPress on my hosts server. I am using Networksolutions as my host and have for years. They work for me and I have had no problems at all. None. This is not an endorsement, just the fact. If I had had any problems with them, I would have been out of here years ago. I have recommended them to others and would continue to do so.

Let me say, that GenCart SEEMS to be like WordPress in that they both are, what I would call, template-based concepts. You can install themes and manipulate them. I installed WordPress because I was tired of having to install a version for IE, a version for Mozilla, a version for Chrome, etc. Detecting which version they were using when they visited the site and then loading the corresponding webpage version accordingly. Frustrating when the images move between versions.

So. I have WordPress installed and my first few blog entries done. I will be transferring my images, layouts, and content over to the WordPress version from here on. As I said before, I am probably going to make mistakes along the way, so if I start down some road I shouldn’t be going down or if you have any suggestions, let me know quickly. Explain what your idea is and why I am about to crash into a brick wall! Preferably before I hit the wall.

So, I have my Workpress installed and downloaded a copy to my local computer for backup. I am now going to see about downloading a theme to use as a template. I noticed there are many out there to choose from.

All for now.
