Convert personal web site to a blog

Hi folks -
I have a site and I want to convert this site to a word press themed blog.
I guess this is what I want to do.

Please help.

Thanks before hand!

 

Copy / paste will be your friend.

 

wordpress is pretty easy to install and manage, anyway you need to know some php if you want to customize your template

 

wordpress allows for static pages. you could create it in html / css and use it as your own theme.

 

install WP on the site and download the theme that you want to be on your blog.

 

Thank you all for your replies..
I have already installed wp. But it needs to know about "Database Host".
I dunno about this.
I have created wp configuration file but nothing works.

After filling this page,
nothing happens.


Help please.

 

You need to configure a MySql database for your wordpress. there is loads of advice on that on the worpress home page...which I cant post 'cause I'm still a N00b.

 

is there a fantastico option in ur cpanel?
so u can just install wp autmatically.

If not, just click on databases (cpanel).
Copy all the info needed database name etc.

and ur good.

 

Yep, I added a database, but again..no thing happens.
