LAMP Installation On Ubuntu 6.06 For Linux Noobs

July 31st, 2006

Howto forge has another tutorial on setting up LAMP on the latest version of Ubuntu Linux. Ubuntu is definitely my Linux flavor of choice probably because it’s the easiest for me to setup and somewhat resembles my favorite platform of choice Mac OS X.

From XHTML/CSS to WordPress

May 5th, 2006

I’ve been hired quite a few times to skin different types of blogs software such as WordPress. It’s actually pretty easy to do, but does take a little bit of time just because of the number of files that need to be edited to create a template. I recently came across a tutorial on The Undersigned with a pretty good explanation on how to go about creating a template for WordPress.
