hi Erik .. no, email is just for your admin .. no WP spam

no, but you will need a WordPress.org account to get an Akismet key, and you should do that for sure .. check out the Akismet plugin config page for the detail, pretty self-explanatory

Hey, one more question while I'm here:

Q: Do we need to sign up for wordpress.com to get a get for insertion into a self-hosted blog so that it'll work?

I have seen a few install videos and no one has mentioned that. Though, I did read it in documentation some where a while back. Perhaps it was only for a wordpress.com blog?

Thanx,
Erik

Hi guv,

Love the W.P. Installation Video. I'm using it as the main guide for my first installation.

Q: In the add Email step, does it matter which addy you enter? What do they need the Email for? Does it have anything to do with W.P. contacting us or what addy we get Email from?

I probably won't have the standard Email link available. I'll likely use a contact form with a plugin.

Know what I mean?

Thanx,
Erik

@Pandby .. you'll need 1 db per blog and htaccess per blog, although that's pretty much copy pasting the ruleset

much ta sandkoenig. you're right...it's best to change that prefix. and in case anyone reads this but not the referenced 10 Tips to Make WordPress Hack-Proof, change that prefix when you install WP.

cheers sandkoenig...appreciate that.
