OK. WordPress gets better reviews. I guess what I need to do before finding a shared host that supports WordPress (which I suspect will be most of them) is to set up my development site on my home computer. So what is that? * Fedora on virtual machine. (On the theory I'll be hosted on Red Hat -- I'll want a Red Hat derived distro.) * Apache, or maybe Tomcat, serving local host * WordPress (and pre-requisites) A dead tree book on WordPress Eclipse or whatever IDE you develop PHP in (maybe) A web authoring program. Feedback is much appreciated. On Mon, Jun 8, 2015 at 4:16 PM Stephen Partington wrote: > I am more suspect of the experience than Django as a whole.
