Installing a Wordpress Blog
6. Add Your Theme
You can do this after you upload, but it’s probably easier to just do it now.
Look for the themes folder. It’s in the wordpress => wp-content => themes.
There should already be 2 theme folders in the themes folder, “classic” and “default”.
Just drop your new theme folder in with them. (remember, it must be unzipped first)
7. Choose Your Install Directory and Upload Everything
If you want your wordpress blog in a separate directory of your website, like “yourdomain.com/blog”, then rename the “wordpress” folder to “blog” and upload it to the root directory with an ftp program.
If you want your blog to be in the root directory of your site, meaning the blog will be located at “yourdomain.com”, then just open the wordpress folder and upload all the files and folders into your web root. If you already have a file called index.html, or index.php, you’ll need to rename it or get rid of it before you uploading everything.
8. In a browser, go to the domain where you uploaded wordpress, and then to /wp-admin/install.php, and follow the simple directions there.
You will be given a username and pasword. Save it in a safe place.
That’s it. You now have a new blog. You can now log in with your username and password, and start writing.
