What is wordpress?   Wordpress is a way to get your website up fast!   You choose a free theme from wordpress.org and download it.  You go to your website’s cpanel and click on Fantastico.  Within fantastico are quite a few programs that you can install almost instantly on your hosted site.  Wordjpress is one of them.  So…find wordpress and click on it.

Three pages will come up with the heading Install Wordpress.  You will need to insure that the information is correct or add information such as a username and password.

In minutes wordpress with very basic themes has been installed as your website or blog.  Go into your ftp system — I love network places, it is so very fast and convenient; just drag and drop —and find the wp-content folder that has been newly created.  Click on it and then click on the themes folder inside it.

Drop your downloaded theme folder in that folder and you are ready to go.   Next time we will customize our elementary —you know, watson–elementary dear, blog.
