How to install GNOMEWeb Theme in WordPress

This post was made with another stylesheet and it might be messed up!

I just tried it and screencast the whole process.

WordPress Super Tip ;)

If you don’t want WordPress to ask you for a FTP when you updating just add this on the bottom of <config.php> file.

/*** Updates WordPress without FTP credentials. ***/
define('FS_METHOD','direct');

A nice tip that Andrea Veri told me!

I’ve used & develop wordpress themes and plugins for 2 years now. Only today I discover that wordpress can be updated without any FTP credential. I sincerely thank you both (you & Andrea Veri) for the knowledge !

WoGue is the first (and only) wordpress I did and I was Googling about FTP thing. All forums refer how to make FTP work (!!) but I never seen this tip, that actually makes things more secure than opening an FTP server!

I don’t know the differences in themes between Blogger (I haven’t used it) and WordPress. But I guess it won’t be too hard to port, since there are many themes that runs both in wp and blogger.
