    1. Plugin ini menggenerate halaman statis (html) di hosting kamu. Jadi akses ke SQL (database WordPress) tidak terlalu terbebani. Biasanya dipake di blog2 yg trafficnya tinggi.

    2. Setelah kamu install plugin ini, user yg datang ke blog kamu langsung masuk ke halaman2 statis hasil dari generate plugin tadi, bukan halaman asli blog kamu. Begitu plugin dihapus, tidak ada proses generate halaman html tadi. Makanya visitor yg datang cuma dapet halaman blank.

    3. Yep. Bukan tampilan secara design, tapi dia buat layer baru halaman statis.

    mampir yah:

    Upload – Extract – Aktivasi

    detilnya :

    ##Kalo anda pake domain berbayar (http:// websiteanda. com)

    login ke cPanel (http://websiteanda/cpanel)
    Masuk File Manager
    cari folder …/wp-content/themes/

    Lalu upload template(format ZIP) ke folder tersebut

    Kalo udah selesai diupload
    Klik file yang baru diupload tadi, trus Extract File Contents

    Log in ke WordPress Administration Panels.
    Pilih subpanel Presentation.
    Pilih/klik Theme yang mau diaktivasi

    selesai …

    ##kalo anda pake domain wordpress.com (http:// namaanda.wordpress. com)

    Anda cuma bisa pake theme yang udah disediakan disana, gak bisa upload ..

    Hi there, very nice tutorial. really appreciate it.
    i’ve got a question for you though. you were mapping the blog to your domain that you got from godaddy. did i understand it right, you basically got hosting provided by wordpress? in their price list 5gb cost only 20 bucks, is it serious? that means that you don’t have to another hosting provider. the hole thing’s gonna cost 40 bucks: domain, hosting, and mapping for a year… did i get it right?

    Mungkin yang perlu anda per jelas adalah layanan wordpress.com atau wordpress.org. Kalau wordpress.com itu layanan berbayar nya meliputi bisa menggunakan domain sendiri, karena kalau hostingnya tentunya sudah ada. Kalau wordpress.org, maka ini gratis, hanya blog kita di host di webhosting kita sendiri.

    Nah bila anda ingin lebih bebas menggunakannya untuk aktivitas bisnis, saya pikir menggunakan layanan wordpress.org akan lebih pas.
