WordPress Upgraded, from manual to Fantastico.

Just upgraded to WordPress version 2.7.1 from 2.6.3. I took a different approach this time. Manual upgrading wordpress has started to bore me since long time ago, and now I hope to get rid of the hassle once and for all, let cpanel’s Fantastico handle the upgrade from now on.

Please bear in mind that this is my very own personal experience. Try this at your own risk!

Situation:
Manually installed wordpress on my hosting account, getting tired of upgrading every new version. Decided to switch to Fantastico install, let it handle the upgrades.

Can’t afford your own shopping cart?

Friends have been asking, “What shopping cart do you recommend for online retailers?”. My personal favorite would be osCommerce, but it might be too advanced for beginner. From hosting, installing, tweaking and beautifying, it sure takes a lot time and effort for a beginner. However, people might enjoy the freedom of tweaking osCommerce because it is an open source project.

So, a stand-alone shopping cart is not in your option list. You do not know a thing about web hosting, FTP file upload, and server-side scripting. Hiring a programmer or a technical support is something you do not want to invest, you have doubts on your own products, is it going to make it online? Well, thanks to Internet, some people out there are ready to solve your problem.
