Installed Akismet and Stats Plugins for WordPress

I just finished installing the Akismet and Stats plugins for WordPress.  Both were ridiculously easy.

In the case of Akismet, the plugin came preinstalled with the WP install so all I had to do was activate the plugin and enter my API key, which I got from the “Edit Profile” link on my personal blog’s dashboard.

Stats was nearly as easy: download the stats ZIP file, extract to /wp-content/plugins/, and activate the plugin from your dashboard’s Plugins page.

One little wrinkle: I wasn’t sure whether or not to move the whole /stats/ directory, or just the stats.php file, to the wp-content/plugins/ directory.  I opted for the former approach and it worked really well.

First Post!

Welcome to Crowdify!

I’ve set up a Crowdify blog, running on WordPress 2.5.1.  The install was astonishingly easy, even for a Windows guy like me.  The three main components (Perl, MySQL, and WP) all were very nicely behaved.

I’m running WP under IIS 6.0, which means that I *think* I have to do something more with regard to URL rewriting, and will check that out soon.
