Hi, I am a newbie at blogging and thought it would be an easy process with installing the program, I have downloaded the application like the site told me to but know I am stuck on what to do next. I had a look at there instructions but my head is not with it tonight and not sure where to go or what to do next. Step by Step instructions would be helpful. Thanks
1. Upload the files to your bloghost in a folder called "blog" (or whatever name you want). 2. Create a database through the admin panel of your host and name it "blog" (or whatever name you want). 3. Download and edit the wp-config-sample.php and in the first lines add in the database name, login, password and mysql host (see #2). 4. Reupload the wp-config-sample.php and rename wp-config.php. 5. Point your browser to http://yourdomain.com/blog/wp-admin/install.php If you did everything right it will install.
You could also find a web host that has "Fantastico" available, this is an add-on that many Linux hosts offer that can install Wordpress automatically for you. Probably the easiest way to get it done, but not the most pure way to install it (for the true Wordpress gurus)
