Here is a simple guide how to change the default size of the thumbnails that WordPress 2.3 creates when you upload an image.
It is actually quite easy to change – it just requires modification of one WordPress file.
From time to time I wonder just how big the image thumbnails are, and occasionally I even ponder how to go about changing that thumbnail size.
The size for the thumbnail creation in WordPress 2.3 could be changed in the /wp-admin/includes/image.php file.
Just open the file and search for:

$max_side = apply_filters(‘wp_thumbnail_max_side_length’,
128, $attachment_id, $file);

and change it to:

$max_side = apply_filters(‘wp_thumbnail_max_side_length’,
256, $attachment_id, $file);

That will double the thumbnail size like mine
Well done and have a great day!

Setup MySQL Database
In your Dreamhost Panel, go to Goodies>MySQL and create a new database and hostname (alternatively, if you already have a hostname setup, you can use that one).

Database Name: mtdb
Hostname: mysql.yourdomain.com
First User: mtdbuser
Password: mtdbpassword (keep this safe)

Click “Add new database now!“.
It”ll take a few minutes for this database to become active unless you had to create a new hostname (this could take as long …
