Creating My WordPress Sandbox

I am running through the WordPress 2.7 Beta 1 and everything looks great so far. I logged in to my Dreamhost

control panel and created a new subdomain for the site, wpbeta.jeremyfilnt.com. Then I created a new SQL database so that the installation was completely self contained.

I still had the problem of needing data in the blog. For that, I turned to Super Satellite’s excellent WP Content Framework.

It comes with pages and sub-pages, categories and sub-categories. There are comments, there are formatting elements. In short, most everything to make sure that you get all your formatting elements covered when designing a Wordpress theme.

I downloaded the XML file for the framework and imported it into the installation. The result was a complete site, with categories, posts, comments, images and more. You can check out the site with the content installed at http://wpbeta.jeremyflint.com.

    Nice. I have been thinking of doing something similar with my own little test site. I may go this route instead. :D
