This is the first official post on the Little Family Blog. This whole website started out as a just-for-fun project to see if I could set up a web server at home. I ended up setting up email, SSL, a blog, and a couple other things in addition to just a basic web server.
It will be interesting to see where this project actually ends up. I hope Danie will end up using it to upload videos and pictures related to our family, but she may just stick to facebook. I may end up writing some posts, too. However, some of them may be strictly technical articles or how-to guides rather than family events.
Well, you can always install this on you blog for Danie:

So did you bother setting up FTP access for yourself, or do you just do everything on the actual machine?
And how are you dealing with the dynamic IP address, out of curiosity?
Thanks for the link. I may install it if Danie decides to publish anything.
I set up SFTP instead. I don’t have the computer hooked up to a monitor, keyboard, or mouse. I use it to backup our laptops as well as for file transfers.
I use thatip.com for dynamic DNS services. It’s the cheapest service that has all the features I want. I have a cron job that updates my IP address every few minutes, although my IP (99.172.173.172 at the time of this posting) hasn’t changed since I started the web server over 2 months ago.
