Installing a Blog on a Website

admin — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 22:47:26 +0000

In this video tutorial we will be demonstrating how to install the blogging software, WordPress, onto your webhosting.

The following items you will need if you intend to install WordPress onto your website are:

1. FTP Information (you get this from your webhosting service. It includes FTP hostname, FTP username, FTP folder, and FTP password).
2. A MySQL Database (don’t worry if you don’t know what this is. Just ask your webhosting service for one. You’ll need a MySQL database name, database username, and database password; you may also need the database host but usually this is just ‘localhost’).
3. An FTP program – there are a lot of them out there. I generally use Dreamweaver but if you are looking for a free FTP program, I suggest FileZilla. You can download it here: http://filezilla-project.org/

If you have the 3 above items you are ready to get started installing WordPress!!!
