Wordpress is by far the most powerful blogging platform that there is. This blog and millions of others are hosted on the Wordpress platform. Since we want to use our own domain we will want to install Wordpress on our own host.
Today’s post is going to be very short – because I just have one action item for you to take care of. I thought about writing the entire Wordpress installation out here, or even making a video. However I really don’t think that I could show you how to install Wordpress better then the creators themselves.
Based on what hosting plan you have – there are several ways to install it. Personally I install it using Fantastico now that I’ve done it so many times. I would suggest to you though that you get your hands dirty at least once or twice and installing it manually. The installation process only takes about five minutes anyway.
You’ll need your hosting account ready, a text editor to make some changes, and an FTP program to transfer the files from your computer to your web host. I use Filezilla for my FTP needs – it’s a free FTP program that is fairly user friendly. So go ahead and download Filezilla and then head on over to the Wordpress Installation Manual and get started!
Once you’re done with that you have your task done for the day. I’d suggest you go back to your keyword research and dig up as many keywords as you can for your niche. In a few days we’ll start writing content and you’ll want to have plenty of ideas ready. So if you have time after your blog is installed – try to come up with at least ten posts that you can write. You can begin writing if you’d like!
Fantastico and Filezilla… definately the way to go.
Wow, truly a step by step guide
. Thankfully I’m at the part of just trying to make things profitable, so far haven’t been able to make anything profitable

Wordpress is definitely the way to go, I personally use FileZilla as well, and just upload it manually to install wordpress.
Word press is a great tool for blogs, theres so much customization and so much control over your blog.
I love using wordpress. It is so easy and useful, especially if creating a blog. WP3 is even better with the new multi site interface.
Wordpress is truly the best there is. The latest version makes it all the more useful and fun to work with.
Wordpress is the best because of the number of plugins available. Besides, it’s easy to use and user-friendly. A beginner user can get used to it quite fast.
Word press all the away. Makes lives easier. I recommend.
