As is obvious, I went for Wordpress. And up to now, it seems the decision was a good one. The installation was smooth and easy and it worked right from the start.

I decided to do a fresh install though my hoster (all-inkl.com) offers a one-click install. Wanted to experience myself how easy or difficult this is and it is really not difficult. There are great documents that help (I used this one here on the Wordpress site) and the install goes smoothly. Only additional part on my side was to add a specific page with an Impressum so we are ok from a legal point of view.

Further I found that the default theme was not really appealing to me. However, I’m reading another blog: Snowman on Fire and that theme seemed just right (that blog by the way is a great one, talks about hockey). So I tried to find out how to install and activate another theme for my blog and again, this proved to be an easy task. So I’m using the F2 Theme which has several widgets and it does a great job.

Well, so much for the infrastructure, let’s see to get further thoughts compiled and published on and in this environment.
