squarevilla’s Journal

昨天到HJJ家帮忙他们装Ikea家具，费了一天的时间，才装了一个电视Entertainment Center。 很奇怪，现在还有人买这么巨大的东西。说是有两个书架可以用，但是买单独的书架应该更便宜吧。后来又帮忙装了两张床。

今天起床还感觉有些腰酸背疼，手脚不灵活的，可见缺乏锻炼。

他们买的房子在Almaden，校区应该不错的，可是房子也是1977年的，比较老。是个Townhouse，4个房间，都不大，也没有什么存储的地方。还要57万。

咳，我们自己不知道什么时候可以搬家。买的那个2个卧室的有点小，可是又不想花多钱，再说工作也不确定，真是不好做决定的。

1) go to admin.1and1.com and set up a MySQL database for the blog. It takes sometime for the database to be set up.

2) download the wordpress software from wordpress.org and extract it.

3) update the wp-config-sample file with the database info from 1and1 and save the file as wp-config.php.

4) upload the whole wordpress folder to 1and1 web space where the blog site will see. It takes some time for 1and1 to set up these files.

5) from the browser, type http://yourblogsite.com/wp-admin/install.php and run through the Dashboard to set up the blog.

This is rather simple and it provides better control on the things than setting it up through 1and1′s free blogging service.
