Writers out there using a local version of WordPress

Check this out. Pretty damned cool. I’ve been very lazy with keeping track of submissions, and hopefully installing this plugin might get me whipped back into shape.  Here’s hoping. Now I just have to go through and add the ones that are out and about and awaiting to be sold.

    Local WordPress is usable for a fee, right? Not free?

    I don’t think my free WordPress can do PlugIns.

    No, it’s free. 100% free. Completely, always, Free, free, free, free. If you’re using WordPress.com, you can’t use plugins (which you are). If you’re doing like I’m doing and using a copy of wordpress on your own webserver, all you need to do it FTP the plugin you want to use to the wordpress/wp-content/plugin directory, go into your admin account, and then activate the plugin.

  3. Heh, looks like that has a lot of the same elements as my Excel Spreadsheet.

  4. admin says:

    Yeah, but I don’t like excel, esp using it as a database (which it’s not).

  5. Yeah, my spreadsheet would be cooler if there were actually a database behind it. I have a few sorting macros, but actual database commands would be much niftier. It just hasn’t gotten so out of control as to annoy me yet.

  6. admin says:

    Or, you know, you could just use access, which is like a DB, heh. Sorry, I’m a hard core DB coder. I program SQL query interactions in C++ and PHP for most of my dayjob, so I tend to be snobby about databases :)

    Hey that’s pretty cool. Maybe one day I’ll have enough out there to need one of these. ROFL

    No dice. I’m using the completely free WordPress.com

    Dude, the wordpress I’m using is completely free as well. I’m just hosting on my own server.
