If you don't qualify for the Simple Melody Installation - for instance, if you are a commercial user, or think perhaps you will have some questions along the way, or maybe you have some plugins to install or would like to make some small changes to the templates - then the Standard Melody Installation is probably for you.

WARNING Melody is currently in an unstable state. If you are not comfortable with this, you are probably better off using Movable Type instead.

The Standard Melody Installation is available for:

• Both Personal and Commercial Users
• New Installations (as Well as Upgrades)
• MySQL Databases
• Static Publishing
• Limited Plugin Installation, Configuration or Customization
• Limited System Customization, Instruction and Training
• Limited Style or Template Customization

The Standard Melody Installation does not include:

• Accounts Hosted at GoDaddy.com or Yahoo!
• Hosting
• Domain Name
• DNS Resolution or Troubleshooting
• Dynamic Publishing
• Website Content - Melody Only

In order to begin, the Standard Melody Installation requires you to:

• Have a Web Host Meeting the System Requirements
• Have a Domain Name
• Provide Hosting Account Access via FTP
• Provide Hosting Account Login Details (Control Panel is Ideal)
• Provide MySQL Access via MySQLMan, phpMyAdmin or SSH

In order to install Melody, we will need to create a MySQL database. This requires access to your Hosting Account. Most Hosting Accounts have a control panel of some sort - cPanel, Gpanel, or perhaps a propietary version. This is what we need to create your database. Access to the database once created, through MySQLMan, phpMyAdmin, or SSH, is also required. Finally, we will also need FTP access to copy the distribution files to your server and change permissions on files if necessary.

The Standard Melody Installation is designed for the vast majority of users, both personal and commercial, to provide a cost-effective solution for getting up and running quickly.

In order to help facilitate the spread of Melody, we have started to offer complimentary non-commercial installations. This is called our Simple Melody Installation.

The Simple Melody Installation is available for:

• Personal, Non-Commercial Users
• New Installations (No Upgrades)
• MySQL Databases
• Single Blogs
• Static Publishing
• One Offer Per Person

The Simple Melody Installation does not include:

• Accounts Hosted at GoDaddy.com or Yahoo!
• Hosting
• Domain Name
• DNS Resolution or Troubleshooting
• Dynamic Publishing
• Plugin Installation, Configuration or Customization
• System Customization, Instruction or Training
• Style or Template Customization
• Support of Any Nature
• Website Content - Melody Only!

While these limitations may seem extreme, please keep in mind that you are getting a fully functional system, installed completely without charge to you. We are more than happy to provide additional services to you at a later time - but there will most certainly be a charge for those services. Also, please realize that this is a free service, and resources are allocated as they become available - so it may take a short while to work our way through the queue. We also reserve the right to withdraw this offer at any time.

Additional links to Melody information and resources will be provided after installion - we won't leave you in a lurch, but we also are not going to hold your hand either. This offer is provided to help the spread of Melody - not to rob us of what little free time we have remaining! Thanks for understanding.

We recognize that there may still be others who require a large number of plugins or a significant amount of customization to templates or even custom programming work, that may not fit the standard mold, and that's okay too. We have also written a number of plugins over the years, so if you don't need installation or upgrade services, but do need a plugin or other code work done, that can be arranged as well.
