Installing WordPress
 WordPress is a blog tool and publishing platform. This article will show you how to get started with an installation.
You will need web hosting in order to use WordPress.
Installation
- Create a MySQL database (eg called wordpress) and create an admin user.
- Create an appropriate sub domain (eg blog.yourdomain.com).
- Download the latest version of WordPress.
- Extract the zip file on your web host.
- Rename the wp-config-sample.php file to wp-config.php.
- Edit the wp-config.php file as follows
define('DB_NAME', 'putyourdbnamehere'); // The name of the database
define('DB_USER', 'usernamehere'); // Your MySQL username
define('DB_PASSWORD', 'yourpasswordhere'); // ...and password
define('DB_HOST', 'localhost'); // 99% chance you won't need to change this value
Now you can run the WordPress installation script by accessing wp-admin/install.php in your favourite web browser.
