Setup WordPress Step by Step

Last updated! August 01st 2010 – I will regularly update this page with new developments of WordPress.
With more than 12 million downloads in a bit more than a month, WordPress has become the most important blogging software in the world.

Nothing should be accidentally skipped in the process. I originally wrote these step by step instructions on how to install a WordPress Blog for myself for exactly these two reasons. I’ve been following my own instructions for many blogs now and added and changed some points until it was perfect.
