So, use MariaDB instead. It has all the same core bits, without the ugly Oracle trademarks everywhere, and it's a lot more open about its updates and its process. > You're doing a lot of stuff, but I find so much on one web page hard to get > to grips with. WordPress, at its core, is the blogging platform, but it is highly extensible, with themes frameworks and plugins, all of which have their own particular meanings, as with any big project. It's more of a content management system than a simple blog, but it's not a document management system. There are add-ons suitable for eCommerce, and many, many specialized applications. Sturgeon's Law does apply, just as it does with add-ons to VFP or any other package. A good knowledge of database, SQL, PHP and LAMP is of great benefit in getting the most out of the system. Some of the biggest websites use it, customized with their own themes for layout and appearance. -- Ted Roche Ted Roche & Associates, LLC http://www.tedroche.com --- StripMime Report -- processed MIME parts --- multipart/alternative text/plain (text body -- kept) text/html --- _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/CACW6n4s+Yetgi8bvUs9OojZ-tRWRzCd=xubdjqiqpzct4ck...@mail.gmail.com ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
