It is said that setting up a WordPress blog is easy and can be done in about 5 mins. This is true if you are not a stranger to the internet and know how to ftp files to your server and perform administrative tasks on the server. If reading this is already depressing for you, it will definitely save you much time and frustration to work with us.
However, if you rather save the money and die trying, we will light the path for you.
Your need a web host and a domain name
1. Plan your contents: categories, images, articles…
2. Consult WordPress documentation on Getting Started
3. Getting a FTP software: (MAC) Captain FTP / (PC) FileZilla
4. Download the WordPress software to your computer
5. Log in to your server and setup your MySQL database for your account using cPanel/Netadmin/Plesk
6. WordPress theme, unzip and upload to your server root directory
7. Type this url in the address window of your browser http://www.yourdomain.com/wp-admin/install.php
8. Click on the “You can Create a wp-config.php file” link on the message window > Let’s Go link
9.Then fill in the form
10. Once completed, an email with the login information and url will be sent to you
11. You can log in to your blog at http://yourdomain.com/wp-login.php
Are you still there? If this is really too much a hassle, just sign up for a new account at http://wordpress.com . A blog is ready for you in a blink and you can forget about all that was mentioned above.
