7. ExpressionWhat?
• ExpressionEngine is an awesome content
management system for websites.
• SELF-HOSTED, not software-as-a-service.
• WEB-ADMINISTERED. All you need’s a browser.
• Written in PHP, runs on MySQL.
• Commercial product from EllisLab.
• Latest version is 2.1.1.

8. GoodForWhat?
• ExpressionEngine runs all kinds of sites.
• It’s great for ...
• sites with complex content,
• sites run by non-technical content editors,
• membership sites,
• and more.

16. • Before you install EE, make sure your web host
can handle it:
1. Download the server wizard from
http://expressionengine.com/files/ee_server_wizard.zip
2. Unzip and upload the ee_wizard folder to your
web server.
3. Go to http://yourdomain.com/ee_wizard and fill out
the form.

19. • At a minimum, rename the ‘system’ folder
something less easily guessable. (NOT ‘admin’,
‘controlpanel’, ‘login’, etc.) Then open
index.php and update $system_path.
• Better option is to move the ‘system’ folder
entirely outside the web root. Details here:

70. Done for today.
But there’s a lot more to cover.
Sadly, we’ll have to save membership, e-commerce,
search, and other nifty EE features for another time.
Hopefully this was enough to get you started.
