Now you already know what to do, but you have not yet learned how to install WordPress. So lets learn how to do it (you will be amazed how easy it is to install this amazing script).

1st Step - Download it from here: WordPress

2nd Step - Unzip it and rename the folder called wordpress to something easier to remember (in my case I have c:\adult_sites\pukkaBDSM.com - and that is where all the WordPress files are located, since I am building the BLOG on the ROOT of my website Pukka BDSM)

3rd Step - Rename the file: wp-config-sample.php to wp-config.php

4th Step - Create a DB on your HOST (this part will be different from host to host)

5th Step - Edit the File wp-config.php with the proper values (this can be EASILY done with NOTEPAD):
define('DB_NAME', 'putyourdbnamehere'); // The name of the database
define('DB_USER', 'usernamehere'); // Your MySQL username
define('DB_PASSWORD', 'yourpasswordhere'); // ...and password
define('DB_HOST', 'localhost'); // 99% chance you won't need to change this value

6th Step - Upload everything to your server using your favorite FTP Software (I use AceFTP Freeware)

7th Step - open your browser and go to the place where you uploaded the script, it will redirect you to the install script, just RUN IT, and you are all done (I believe that no one will have issues with this part)

Now that you have already installed WordPress there are a few things that you need to do and the 2nd one is to get a new design to your blog. This is best place to get FREE WORDPRESS TEMPLATES, templates might be over used, but probably not for the same kind of website that you are building.

ops... I forgot the 1st thing you need to do is activate "Akismet" plugin, but to do that you will need to get a WordPress.com API Key, which you can get here. What is that plugin for? this is the plugin that will block 99% of the spammers that do that thru comments on other people's BLOG (in this case YOUR BLOG).

To active the plugin you need to go to /wp-admin/plugins.php (Plugins), and click on the Activate link on the Action column. After you do that you will need to go to wp-admin/plugins.php?page=akismet-key-config (Plugins->Akismet Configuration) and enter the WordPress.com API Key you got from here.
