Setup Wordpress Step by Step
(Sticky)
Last updated! April 07th 2009 – I will regularly update this page with new developments of Wordpress.
To Setup a WordPress Blog isn’t anything you need to study Internet Technology for.
With the upcoming of Web 2.0 and semantic search, blogs have become a most valuable tool for Internet Marketing. The new WordPress 2.7.1 with it’s great deal of plugins is fully equipped to achieve almost any Internet marketing goal, once it is setup correctly. You can even create member sites and start your own social network.
Nowadays not even a great deal of html knowledge is required and WordPress 2.7+ is built so that anybody can have an own website, which complies to all needs of Web 2.0, up and running within only a few hours.
So why am I writing a step by step guide to setup a WordPress blog if it is that easy? Because my actual job is Internet Marketing and Consulting but unfortunately I spend a great deal of time repairing Word Press blogs, what clearly is not my favored way of spending valuable time.
While the actual process of setting up your new wordpress blog will be a walk in the park; the Order of how to set up your blog is what makes the difference! 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.
After I typed all my notes, I thought I might as well publish it and maybe help somebody else to setup a WordPress blog quick and easy. For myself and my co-workers it has become a most comprehensive check list, just like the one used by pilots on their preflight check.
