Internet Marketing - Installing a Wordpress Blog On Your Website

This is a lot easier than you would think (after all, I was able to do it). The first thing that you will need to do is log into your Cpanel account by going to www.yourdomainname.com/cpanel. (please substitute the name that you have purchased for your domain in the spot that has “yourdomainname”).  Enter your username and password and click “log in.” Now that you are logged in to your Cpanel, you will need to scroll down to the bottom of the page and find a blue smilie face labeled “Fantastico” or “Fantastico Deluxe”. They are the same thing, it just depends on the hosting service (like HostGator) that you choose to have for your particular website.

You will need to click on the link that says “New Installation” after you read a brief description of what Wordpress is. This will get the process started for you. The click will bring you to another screen that will ask for some information that will be no problem for you to fill out. The first thing that it will ask you is where you want your blog to be installed. Leave it blank. Why? It will default to your root directory, and that is where you want your blog to be located.

This will bring you to the next option of selecting an administrator name. This can be anything  that you want between six and eight characters. The choice is entirely up to you, you can have whatever you like. Then you will need to choose an administator password. It is best if this password is at least eight characters long, but don’t use something too easy like “password”.

Tomorrow: part II.

Have a GREAT day!
