does anyone know how to set up a blog using wordpress? and then link it to new domain name?
I downloaded Wordpress, opened up a config.php file,(basically following the instructions), but when it asks me to fill in database info... i dont know what that means...
I have only used Frontpage to set up a website before.
Here are the instructions from Wordpress:
Installation: Famous 5-minute install
Unzip the package in an empty directory.
Open up wp-config-sample.php with a text editor like WordPad or similar and fill in your database connection details.
Save the file as wp-config.php
Upload everything.
Open /wp-admin/install.php in your browser. This should setup the tables needed for your blog. If there is an error, double check your wp-config.php file, and try again. If it fails again, please go to the support forums with as much data as you can gather.
Note the password given to you.
The install script should then send you to the login page. Sign in with the username admin and the password generated during the installation. You can then click on 'Profile' to change the password.
