LESSON: BUILDING A FORUM ON WORDPRESS
This tutorial will guide you in building a forum on wordpress.
Before we begin, register your domain name and get a web-host.

For practice purpose, i suggest you get a free host at http://www.hostinger.co.uk/

oapeleo:
Thanks guys

LESSON TWO: FINDING THE RIGHT HOST
When it comes to small projects i use whogohost or syskay.com. Hostgator and Godaddy for big projects.

Its advisable to create a separate account for your clients. So if they wish to discontinue your services, you can hand over to them their login details to cpanel and others. If the webhost supports an affiliate program, use it on their account. And get discount for other jobs.

Whogohost and syskay.com are both nigeria webhost providers and are both good. But syskay now has a problem with sending mails.
All mails sent from the website you hosting with them goes to spam box. I dont know why?
This cost me my reputation at a time. An ecommerce site i created had all its payment, cart, check out messages going to the mail spam. This would ruin the reputation of your site. So lets put it aside for now. (Tested one 3 others websites same problem)

I havent had any problem with whogohost yet. And they have 24 hours customer care service, cheaper, good speed, affiliate program and help you with webpay integration.

IF YOU KNOW ANY OTHER GOOD NIGERIA WEB HOST BLA BLA LET US KNOW

If you doing a big project go for foreign hosts like hostgator or godaddy. They are more expensive (dollar ish u know) but reliable. They can handle websites with lost of traffic.

Now a lil secret, to get cheaper charge on hostgator use this coupon SOCIAL.

Bros well done. I use word press how can I get themes?

LESSON THREE: FINDING THE RIGHT CMS
Most web-developers claim to do their website the hardcore way. Lie. We all use cms and you know it.
content management system (CMS) is a computer application that allows publishing, editing and modifying content, organizing, deleting as well as maintenance from a central interface.
E.g, wordpress, drupal, joomla,SilverStripe,Cushy,frog, modx,etc etc.
Anybody can be a web-developer over night.

There are lots of cms out there, you will get confused for sure if u search.
You must have an idea of what you want to create before you choose.

For me wordpress can create anything at all as far as web is concerned.
Has millions of themes, plugins, etc. Easy to understand. Fast and you can do many wesites following thesame partner at the same time.

But easily hacked and isnt recommended for ecommerce websites or sites that involve payment.
I recommened opencart and others.

For social communities, use elgg, etc.
For forums, use phpbb

I know lots of cms out there for different purposes. Wont bore you with the full list. You can whatsapp me for one on one 08153973028 , or call 08068280130

Please dont start googling to find them. You can get any cms, themes in the world from www.nulledphp.com (your friends wont even tell you this). And when you contact me, i will just give you link to the exact one to download from there. Infact all other sites that sell or share them, get it from here. They update every day. Yeah!

To get the exact theme you want just search
E.g. business theme and the endless list shows.

USE WISELY.
