Found a place that's a real laugh riot.

I found a hilarious case while searching for "WordPress installation". Surprisingly, I came across a blog that had been indexed by Baidu halfway through its setup. It's probably the work of a very inexperienced beginner.

During the WordPress installation process, there’s an option that says "I want my Blog to be indexed by Google and Technorati etc." If selected, it makes it easier for search engines to index the site. This particular user must have run into some issues during installation, got discouraged, and simply abandoned the project like this. The Baidu snapshot shows the date as July 10, 2008. This person must have been really disheartened—after 12 days, the site was still left in such a state. Did they give up on this domain?

I tried installing it myself by adding /wp-admin/install.php after the domain name, but a lot of error messages appeared. It seems there were configuration errors during the upload process.
