Need Help Related To Wordpress...

Hi. I am new to wordpress. I am using blogspot currently....

That's not why i am here. I am in need of some help...

I have a domain www.computerkindness.org. A small non-profit organisation for helping sudents. I have setup a weblog to document our activities and to hopefully also encourage our participants to log comments on the activities of the foundation.

Rather then just have links between our web site and our wordpress weblog it would be great if we could just set up a sub domain. Exactly who do I go about creating the sub domain and linking it to our weblog? Do I have to register the subdomain or just create it.

I have also created a CNAME in my DNS entry like "news.computerkindness.org" and pointing to computerkindness.wordpress.com... But that does not seem to work. Help me please...

Sorry but I am rather new to supporting the Web domains...

Thanks in advance... Help me.

If you log in to the cPanel for your hosting here at Trap17 you can create a subdomain. Go for that and create the 'news' subdomain that you want to use. This will create the subdomain, and give it a folder in your hosting ( public_html/news ).

If you want that to redirect to your externally hosted blog, you could then use a redirect page to point people in the right direction. One way to do this is to create an index.html file in the subdomain's folder, and put the following into that file:

CODE

<html>
<head>
<title>Redirecting...</title>
<meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="1; url=http://computerkindness.wordpress.com/">
</head>
<body>
<h1>Redirecting...</h1>
</body>
</html>

You might be able to change the 1 in the 'meta' line to a 0 to get an instant redirect.

There are loads of other ways to do this, so if you don't like this method of redirecting the visitors then run a web search for other methods - you'll get thousands of different methods come up.

logged into CPanel and went into MySQL Databases, created the databases, the username and added the
user to the database - as suggested in the installation procedure. Perhaps there's a mistake in
my wp-config.php file that might've caused the error. If there's something I should change,

Loading Speed - Related to bandwidth? (1)

I'm just wondering how bandwidth of my package is related to the loading time of my site? I am
around the 300+ MB mark out of my 5GB allocated bandwidth, and I noticed that recently my site has
started to lag really badly in load time. Wondering if it's got anything to do with the amount
of bandwidth I'm using, although I'm not even halfway to using it up. Should I be expecting
the loading speed to slow down as more bandwidth is used? And if I should, is it normal for it to
lag so badly at just the 300MB mark? Just wondering....
