Running WordPress on MobileMe / dot Mac

January 21st, 2009

Apple’s MobileMe/.Mac service offers web hosting along with email and file storage.

There is currently(Jan, 2009) no user support for  PHP or other server-side technologies.

For many Mac fanboys who want to install WordPress this has always been dissappointing.

Until now (maybe)…

Here is a workaround I am attempting right now. I am attempting to:

  1. 1. run WP on a local server
  2. 2. use permalinks with .html extension
  3. 3. avoid categories
  4. 4. automagically rip and publish my local site to my MobileMe webspace

Wish me luck!
