Following on from my post to setup a Raspberry Pi Web Server<\/a> I next needed to install a Content Management System (CMS).
\nI chose WordPress because I wanted to get the site setup quickly and, for now, I have found WordPress to be reliable and easy to use.<\/p>\n

I won’t provide an installation guide because this one is ideal<\/a>. (Start from step 4 “Download WordPress”.)<\/p>\n

Choosing a Theme:<\/b><\/p>\n

\nAfter trawling through many WordPress themes to find something simple yet interesting, I eventually picked “Terminally” by Andy Warburton. I feel at home with a green screen terminal session and that is what this theme seeks to emulate.<\/p>\n

\nBecause I haven’t setup FTP (I’d like to avoid adding too many services and open ports), I couldn’t download new themes from within the WordPress admin facility. So I used another computer to download and uncompress the theme’s zip file and then scp to copy the new terminally folder and its contents to my Pi web server.<\/p>\n

\nscp -r ~\/tmp\/terminally user@webserver:\/var\/www\/wp-content\/themes\/\n<\/div>\n

A Style for Code:<\/b><\/p>\n

\nBecause I may post examples of programs or scripts I tweaked the \/var\/www\/wp-content\/themes\/terminally\/style.css file to insert the following:<\/p>\n

\n#code {
\n border: solid 1px lime;
\n font-size:12px;
\n font-weight: bold;
\n color: #FFA500;
\n margin: 10px;
\n padding:10px;
\n background: #000000;
\n}\n<\/div>\n

\nGiving a nice orange on black display to distinguish any code from my notes. Well, I think it looks nice… After half a lifetime using green screens my first amber monitor was quite exotic!<\/p>\n

\nI can then use HTML to switch the “code” style on\/off with<\/p>\n

<div id=\"code\">scripts and code goes here<\/div><\/code><\/p>\n

\nThis probably isn’t the ‘correct’ way to format text but it works and so it will do until I learn more.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
