installing wordpress

For the .info domain that I have been working on, i had to install Wordpress on the various sub-domains. The problem is that i have a huge number of sub-domains. At last count it was some 70+. And for some reason Fantastico wasn't installing wordpress correctly. So i had to install them manually. Let me tell you what a huge pain it is! If you've ever tried installing WP on one domain, then you know how cumbersome the process can be. Imagine 70! I had to copy the installation files, manually create the databases and run the installation. Theming is still left. I gave up and focussed on my top 13 sub-domains. I have begun populating them via FireScribe so hoping that makes my job easy. Not sure though since FireScribe seems to be buggy. Or atleast 1 installation of wordpress is.

I also decided i need a mouse. However, given my past record of spending before making a dollar, i decided to not make a purchase till i get some money selling some text-books. Not sure if this is a good idea. On the one hand, if i do go ahead and buy the mouse, its pressure on me to make up that money. On the other, i have used a similar excuse and still not lived up to it. I need the mouse badly and i'm sure the inconvenience will only spur me to make the money faster.

Here's to people buying my text-books :D
