Please let me know if I'm allowed to post this kind of thread.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Requirements:

• Your host must support PHP.
• You must have a MySQL account.
• You must know how to create a MySQL account.
• You must know how to use FTP.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Step one:
Download the latest version, go to > http://wordpress.org/download/.
After downloading, unzip the folder by:
1. Right click to the folder.
2. Choose ' Extract all '. Then follow the prompts.

========================================

Step two:
Create a database for WordPress on your web server, as well as a MySQL user who has all privileges for accessing and modifying it. Or ask your host to create you one.

========================================

Step three:
Rename the wp-config-sample.php file to wp-config.php.
Open wp-config.php with your text editor(eg. notepad etc.) and fill in your database details.

A MUST:
Only edit the parts saying ' HERE! ':

// ** MySQL settings ** //
define('DB_NAME', 'HERE!');    // The name of the database
define('DB_USER', 'HERE!');     // Your MySQL username
define('DB_PASSWORD', 'HERE!'); // ...and password

========================================

Step four:
Open your FTP program & login to your ftp account.
Please make sure that you delete your ' index file ' before uploading the wordpress files.
Upload only the files inside the wordpress folder.
It will take about 20 or more to upload the files. So please be patient.

========================================

Step five:
After uploading the files, go to http://change-this-with-your-domain-name.org/wp-admin/install.php
Fill out the form and then your done!

========================================
