Blogging is becoming popular these days. In fact, there are several websites that offers blogging. Blogs can be use for different purposes; others would use it as an online diary, while others would also use it for web marketing. For this reason, setting up a perfect blog for your own purpose is very vital. I will provide you the things that I believe would surely help you on setting up your own blog.
I will teach you how to setup a blog in wordpress. Now, why wordpress? I prefer wordpress since wordpress is already tested through time and wordpress has many viewers, millions around the world. This is the best site if you would want your blog to be read by countless individuals.
Before we get started, it is important to know that a blog script is very important to make your blog controllable. For this matter, I will provide you the best PHP codes. Moreover, please do ensure that your host supports PHP and MySQL database. The minimum requirements are PHP v4.1 and MySQL v3.23.23, but I would prefer up-to-dates.
After assuring that your web host supports PHP v4.1 or higher and MySQL v3.23.23 or higher, you can download WordPress script from developer’s website for free. Save the script in your hard drive. Mostly, these scripts are zip files. You could just extract it with the use of winzip or winrar and open the file with the use of Notepad.
Input or edit the name of your MySQL database, your username and password and your MySQL server. After you have done these, upload all of the files to your web host. Click /wp-admin/install.php and follow the instructions carefully. After the installation, you will be provided an admin password. Never forget the password because you will need this information later.
Signing up an account on a quality web hosting will make things easier for you. Most of these web hosting offers a preinstalled PHP scripts. If this is the case, then simply go to your control panel and go to preinstalled scripts and select Wordpress. All you have to do is select the appropriate script for your own wordpress which is obviously much easier. After the installation, simply go to wp-login.php in your wordpress and login with the username admin and the password that has been generated. You could change the password anytime you want, just edit your profile.
I know you are now concerned with the looks of your blog. You could simply apply a template and change the layout of your blog. This feature is free from charge. But before that, surf the net and look for wordpress themes that would fit your blog. If you found the appropriate theme for you, just go to wp-content/themes/your-new-layout-name folder and upload the theme.
Setting your wordpress blog should never be a problem for you. If you want more help regarding wordpress installation, feel free to visit wordpressmadeeasy.net for more tutorials and tips.
