Installing WordPress

Now we can install Wordpress!

(a) Go back to the homepage in your C Panel and scroll down until you see 'Fantastico De Luxe' which is a little blue smiley face icon, and click on it.

(b)You will be given a list of scripts to install. Select Wordpress.

(c) Click on 'New Installation'


(d) Where it says 'Install on domain' select your domain name.
Leave 'Install in directory' blank.
Choose a Username and Password that you will use to log into your blog when you edit content.
Enter the name you will post as, your email address, the blog's name and description of the blog. For the blog name and description, try to use your keywords because this will help with your SEO.

(e) Click 'Finish Installation'. You have now installed Wordpress!
(f) Now go to your domain name and check that your blog was installed correctly. For example, my blog is located at rawfooddiscoveries.com and looks like this:
(yours should look like this too)


Installing a Wordpress Theme

The above image is the default theme that you will get when you install Wordpress. I'm now going to show you how to upload and change the theme to something that you like that also suits your topic.
There are plenty of free Wordpress themes out there on the internet. A good place to start is at ImageArranger.com
You could also try:
ThemeForest
Woothemes
PrimoThemes
To find a theme that will suit your niche topic, just do a search like 'health wordpress theme' etc.
Just make sure that the theme you choose support Widgets.
Once you've found one, download it and unzip it.
1) Now in order to upload the theme (or anything) to your hosting account you will need something called an FTP Client. I recommend using Filezilla (it's what I use) and it's free and very easy to use.
Go to http://filezilla-project.org and download it.
Next install it and open it up and log in using your hosting account details (username, password and IP address (Host)).
Below is what Filezilla looks like when you open it up and log in. On the left are the files on your computer and on the right side is the files on your websites:

2) On the left side (your computer files side), find the place (for example, your desktop) where you put the Wordpress theme you found earlier that you upzipped.
3) On the right hand side (the website files side), find the folder called 'wp-content' and click on it.

4) Click on the 'themes' folder

5) Now drag your theme from left over to the right hand side, into your 'themes' folder:

6) Now go and log into you blog by typing the URL of your blog followed by 'wp-admin' at the end. E.g. http://www.yourwebaddress.com/wp-admin
A pop-up box should appear so log in using the username and password you created when you installed the blog in C Panel.
Now you will be taken to your blog 'Dashboard' which looks like this:

7) On the left hand side you should see a category called 'Appearances'. Click on it, then click on 'Themes'.

8) You should see a few available themes, including the default theme and the theme you just uploaded. Find the theme you just uploaded and click 'Activate'.


9) Now quickly check your site to see if the theme has uploaded properly:

Next, we need to optimize the site to make it ready to make money!
