Today, the new WordPress platform is open to the public, absolutely free.

The platform uses a modified WordPress rather than WordPress MU.

The service is free, Ad-Free, and very little restrictions apply, You can use your domain, We add themes all the time, yuo can also suggest themes and we will try to install them for you, we update so you don’t have to, A first video is out describng the very easy 2 minute blog setup, and we are working on new things not available anywhere else

The things already available, some already live and some in final testing stages

1- You can reset the admin password of your wordpress blog
2- You can import/Export wordpress databases as SQL !
3- No wordpress features have been dissabled
4- Free Sub Domains under many domains
5- Ability to use your own domain name
6- Ability to change the address of a blog even after you have started blogging
7- Ability to use google analytics, Google adsense and soon google sitemaps
8- No advertising from us, you put your own ads and keep all the revenue
9- Auto Updating, you don’t need to hurry when a new wordpress is out
10- Fast Servers, and optimized systems to make sure your blog is always fast

I certainly hope you like it, try it, it takes less than 2 minutes and a few clicks to setup wordpress, the exact instructions to setup wordpress are in this video.

Enjoy blogging.

TJLUG.ORG has been the first to arrive at the new WordPress server.

Keeping things as simple as possible.
The new theme is not new, it is the same good old WordPress default theme, the only thing that has changed is the CSS and 2 images, the rest remains untouched.

I am very excited about this new wordpress hosting platform as it makes modifying wordpress and working on it easy, when the wordpress guys have a new version out, it is easy to integrate that.

Anyway, once this is open to the public, i will let you know, probably a couple of days until i finish the security audit.
