How to blog - 5 simple steps for installing WordPress!
August 7, 2010It appears everybody today wants to start a blog, and the way in which the majority start is by making use of a free blogging platform such as ‘Blogger’ or other free blogging services like ‘typepad’. However, sooner or later you will want to have more control over your blog by having your own website name as well as blog, this will ensure that your blog never gets shut down. Among the best methods to do this is as simple as setting up a WordPress blog on your domain name and this article will demonstrate the five simple steps to establishing WordPress on your own site.
If you have never carried this out before it can seem quite complicated but in fact it’s very easy to perform. It is also confusing by the fact that there’s two different sorts of WordPress blogs. WordPress.com is a free blog service much like Google’s blogger, although WordPress.org is what we are utilizing to set up our blog on our own website name. Thus giving us much more control than we have from using the free services.
Step one: In order to host your blog the first things you will need are a website name as well as a hosting account. The actual website name will be the web address of your new blog, and if this is likely to be a personal blog then it is a good idea to try and use your own name in the site. It’s also smart to keep the website name and your web hosting accounts with separate companies. This just keeps you a bit more in control although it is no big deal for those who have them both with the same company.
Step two: By now you’ll have your domain name pointing to your web hosting account and the very first thing you need to do is go into Cpanel. This is the primary dashboard for controlling your web hosting account, now scroll down and you will see and icon called Fantastico and click on that.
Step three: This will demonstrate all of the different scripts that you can install from this location. From here fined WordPress and simply click on it now.
Step four: This will bring you to a very simple install page have a glance at it and if all seems correct click the install now button. You will then get asked which directory you will want to install your blog in, for most of us we will install the blog in the root directory, which means that we do not have to enter anything here. On the other hand if you wish to install that blog in any other directory then simply type in the name of the directory here and your blog will be installed.
Step five: So that is it, your blog is installed on your own web hosting account and all you’ve got to do right now is sign in and select which theme you need to utilize for your blog, as well as what plugins you should install, but this is the subject of a later article.
