| I've been doing a little work on a proof-of-concept for a new fully
| WordPress driven alexking.org site. I'm working off of the current WP
| trunk ("trunk" is the place bugs are created in any software), so naturally
| I ran into a couple of minor issues.
|
| After a brief IM conversation with Ryan to make sure I was fixing the
| issues correctly, I submitted a patch and minutes later it was
| committed. Fantastic!

| Now I will explain the procedure I tested. Just keep in mind that while it
| shows how to work with Wordpress blog engine, the idea can work for any other
| web or other resource you'd like to use. I looked over the web for all sorts
| of virtualization techniques, and the one I found to be the easiest is the
| VMWare image of rPath Wordpress Appliance. It is the basic VMWare image of a
| virtual computer, which includes all required software components needed to
| run Wordpress. Its size is about 130Mb, which is while not that small, is not
| big either - a connection to DSL would be enough to get it in about half an
| hour.
