Running WordPress on MobileMe / dot Mac

UPDATE: The plugin has now been released, please find it here:

WordPress HTML Static Plugin

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:

  • Run WP on a local server
  • Use permalinks with .html extension
  • Avoid categories
  • Automagically rip and publish my local site to my MobileMe webspace

Wish me luck!

Site made with love of these open source tools

The beautifully-crafted OS that forces you to learn how to do things properly.

For better or worse, WordPress powers 30% of the web. ClassicPress reduces some of the bloat.

Text is my material. Learn one text editor well.

Version controlling all the things.

Retaining workspaces on local and remote servers.
