Self Hosted WordPress
This is my first time running a blog on a self hosted WordPress platform and it has taken me a lot of time trying to figure out how to customize a standard theme into something that is more personalized to my own taste.
This is also my first time using a UNIX hosting but to my surprise cPanel is actually quite simple to use. Getting around the cPanel did not really take me long and in less than one hour I managed to install WordPress via the Fantastico De Luxe. Some of you, who are more technically inclined might be tempted to say: “What? Less than an hour? That’s way too long!”
By the way, I love the Fantastico smiling face logo.
So, the real difficult part is to get the selected theme to the way I want it to be. Bit by bit, I have managed to figure out how the codes work and you can see the results on this blog. Most of the things were discovered by trial and error while some others were found on the internet, published by those who had gone through the pain before me.
I am glad that I made the moved from Blogger to WordPress and now my limitation is only my skills on HTML, CSS and PHP. Other than that, my template will always, at least, look slightly different than yours…

Yeah, I love WordPress too! You have a lot of themes for it, a lot of plugins and it’s just great!
About the HTML, CSS and PHP skills… Just try it! It’s not that hard. Just make sure that you have a copy of the original code’s before you edit something. This way you can restore if things go bad!

Normally that’s what I do but the commentluv thing is one that I just could not figure out yet…
BioTecK
Yeah, Well.. You have to put this php code below or before the “Notify me of followup comments via e-mail” in your comments.php file. It’s up to you! :p
The code is
ID); ?>.This is what I have done and it works for me, so I hope it will help you as well!
I also have found a faq on WordPress.org: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/commentluv/faq/
Maybe it can help you if my method wouldn’t work!

Hi Biotek, I did try that but all I got was this:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function doaction() in /home/kisahber/public_html/wp-content/themes/Forte/comments.php on line 113
