Hi , I have just installed the Debian package wordpress using the KDE package installer and all went well.

I went to access it in the KDE menu, but can't find it anywhere.

Any help greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Greeb

That is simply because WordPress is not a GUI-application, it is a blogging-platform that has to be used together with a web-server like Apache.

Sorry I thought wordpress was a web site design tool which would allow me to create my own personal website. When I look on

www.wordpress.org, it says:

WordPress " Blog Tool and Publishing Platform
WordPress is web software you can use to create a beautiful website or blog. We like to say that WordPress is both free and priceless at the same time. ...

Thanks

you're only half right. Wordpress is a tool and platform to allow you to create a website, but its web-based, meaning you install it on your webserver and manage it from there. It does nothing locally.

Wordpress is not a web site design tool in the sense that eg. Dreamweaver, Bluefish, Kompozer, etc. are. It's a blogging platform, however, with an increasing number of plugins for it, Wordpress is becoming a fully fledged content management system.
