New to website creation? A guy as dumb as me could do it

Caution: This is for people who are atleast half as dumb as me. Most probably you are not. Still read it to laugh at me.

Ok. Even before I start, if you like my geeksforgeeks.org and think that I'm not dumb, you are wrong. I'm dumb. Secondly, a dumb guy like me wouldn't have managed it if not for Sandeep. It is he who is its creator and preserver. I'm just its destroyer!!

But even if you are as dumb as me, you can still manage to come up with a great website. geeksforgeeks.org creation took only around a day. But yes it was because of the genius of Sandeep. Even otherwise, you can come up with one within 3-4 days. If you are thinking how, I'm coming to it.

1. Wordpress is a great free tool available for starting a website. It is basically a blogging tool. But can be extended to do other things as well(though not very powerful). It requires PHP, apache server and Mysql. You do not need to know anything about these. All you have to do is to install them in your home pc for testing.
2. Find a web hosting provider supporting PHP and Mysql. He himself should help you in installing wordpress for you(this was our case). Now you are up and ready for hosting.
3. Follow all the boring installation stuff of wordpress carefully. Wordpress does not manage data in files. It writes all your data into database. Files only have the design of your website.
4. You are ready. Just login to wordpress with the account information it provides you and start posting!! You can select your own themes and etc etc.
5. Once you are familiar, you can explore plugins and other stuff. Customization will follow.

If you are thinking you should create an awesome website using Java, mvc, different frameworks like struts etc etc, off from here. This post is meant not for dreamers. This post is meant for pragmatic people.

If you need any help, I'm here. Fellow geek, we can have a dumb talk. GeeksforGeeks.org is there which is a simple, wordpress based website. You can use it not just for its data but also design. Did you geek today?
