Installing Wordpress

Once you’ve got your web hosting set up, it’s time to install WordPress. If you don’t know, WordPress (WP) is the most used blogging software and will make your life very easy.

Note: If you are very familiar with setting up WP and have a set template and plugin set you like to use, you can skip this step. Otherwise, read on - it’s very easy.

Chances are, your host has cPanel installed. And they probably have Fantastico bundled with it. Fantastico is an automated installer of many common software programs, one of which is WordPress. Locate your Fantastico icon in the cPanel your host gave you. With HostGator, this is yourdomain.com/cpanel.

Now locate WordPress under Blogging on the left and fill out the form. Done!
