A few weeks ago, the UP ITTC and UP SITF invited me to speak at the Philippine Youth Congress in Information Technology (Y4IT), and my topic is WordPress. Easy, right? I thought so.

But I was challenged to step up and install my own self-hosted WordPress blog so I can fully understand how easy it is to do it. Why? So I can speak with authority, from my own experience during the Y4IT. I sure don’t want to embarrass the people who invited me by being inept. I want to give my best talk, using the best possible resources and doing the best research I could.

I’m not much of a gadgets and tech girl, but I get by. This installation of my own self-hosted blog, and the maintenance of it will challenge me to learn more, know more about IT stuff which will help me with my blogging and other online work.

Thanks to Y4IT for this challenge!
