Blogs are popular online journals that allow individuals to post their daily musings on a variety of topics. Christian Blogs are especially wonderful because they typically focus on sharing grace that the Lord has poured upon them throughout the day. Several popular webblog tools can be installed on our servers, and here, we will discuss how to set up and run the popular Wordpress blog system.
Step 1: Prepare a MySQL Database
and Username
The first step of preparing a blog is to
prepare a MySQL Database, username, and password.

will be stored in the MySQL database that you set
up. Please follow the instructions given in the below
tutorial to set up a database just for your new blog.Set

Step 2: Upload the files
to FTP
You will now need to download the latest
Wordpress files from their server to prepare for upload.
Please visit wordpress.org and download the latest
files. You will want the .zip version. Unzip these
files to your desktop.Now, you will need to modify
the wp-config.php file within the Wordpress files
to reflect your database information. Go into the
"wordpress" folder that was just unzipped. In this
directory, rename the file called "wp-config-sample.php"
to "wp-config.php". Right click on the new file and
select, open with>choose program. Open the file with
your "wordpad" application. Here, you must enter information
for "DB_NAME" "DB_USER" and "DB_PASSWORD." Replace
the default values, "wordpress" "username" and "password."
Put into those spots the database information generated
in step 1. The DB_HOST can be left as "localhost."
Now, use FTP to connect to your account. Create a
folder where you want your blog to reside, such as
"http://www.yourdomain.com/blog." Then upload the
Wordpress files to this folder.
Step 3: CHMOD folders to
be readable
You will need to CHMOD the wp-content folder
to 777 in order to upload files through your web admin.
If you are using "yourdomain.com/blog" for your blog,
you wp-content folder will be located at "yourdomain.com/blog/wp-content."
