How to Convert WordPress to MediaWiki (8 Steps)

How to Create a Social Website (6 Steps)


Install WordPress on your Web server. Due to its popularity, WordPress is now offered as a standard application available with many Web-hosting plans. Some Web-hosting services offer an automatic installation option for WordPress. If you don't have much experience installing Web applications, select a Web host that offers automatic WordPress installation and you'll save a lot of time.
Install the BuddyPress plug-in. You can automatically install BuddyPress from the WordPress dashboard by going to the 'Plug-ins' menu on the left side of the Dashboard and selecting 'Add New.' Enter 'BuddyPress' in the plug-in search box. In the result listings, you'll see BuddyPress. Install BuddyPress by selecting the 'Install Now' link under the BuddyPress name.
Configure BuddyPress. BuddyPress has features for activity streams, editable user profiles, friend connections, private messaging, blogging and groups. Because BuddyPress is a WordPress plug-in, it is extensible, which means that features can be added to run alongside BuddyPress in the WordPress system. The BuddyPress.org site runs on WordPress and BuddyPress, so you can visit their site to see it in use.
Generate content for your website. Using WordPress, you can add pages or posts with content for your visitors and members. WordPress allows you to add text, images and video content to your website.
Promote your social website. You can use search engine optimization, pay-per-click advertising or other traditional advertising methods to generate awareness of your social website. If your website is dedicated to a specific interest group or organization, you may be able to promote the website within the interest group or organization membership.
Manage the users. Because social websites permit a certain degree of user-generated content, you may want to review some or all of the new contributions to the site to make sure that no illegal or objectionable content is being added. Also, if you allow comments on your pages or posts, you'll want to install a comment spam blocker such as the 'akismet' plug-in. In general, you'll need to keep an eye on users and the content they are adding to make sure that your social website doesn't get hijacked by spammers.
