This web-site is my first public web-site, and following the advice of my web-hotel, I have based it on WordPress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This post is about my experiences with this, and it may be updated from time to time with new insights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Installation was a very easy one-click setup, and it included the current default theme Twenty Twenty-Four, which I chose to work with, to get to my goal as soon as possible: Being able to blog, posting articles on my programming experiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This theme can target different goals, among them mine, so the initial work consisted of choosing the main page template and removing all those elements, I didn’t want.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I found it hard to understand the principles for this theme, some of which perhaps are principles for WordPress as a whole. It was hard to figure out, when was I editing a template, used several places, and when was I working directly on what would be displayed. I miss a source for an overview of this basic structure – for the theme and for WP in general.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It took me a lot of time and tries to get it right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So if asked if I would recommend WP as the basis for a web-site, I cannot say a clear “yes”, perhaps I can say “maybe”, but since I haven’t used any other frameworks, I don’t think I can say “no”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Writing about programs, I need to display code.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Code Block Pro” seemed to work OK, but scrambled my code after a few saves, showing HTML mixed with code that was not formatted to be readable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Currently I am using “Highlighting Code Block” by Loos Inc. It shows the code nicely, but when I am in edit mode, it doesn’t display the line numbers, so to make references to lines in the text, I have to switch in and out of edit mode.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you have any comments, advice, or recommendations to my way of using WordPress and plug-ins, please leave a comment to this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As always – happy programming!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
