Welcome to my madness. I’ve attempted to install WordPress and so far it’s been ok thought the instructions have been vague and strange. I finally gave up and sent in a ticket to my domain holder telling them to do it for me.
Once someone else had to do work, the install was almost automatic. I immediately got a reply describing exactly where the button I needed to push was in order to get WP installed and working. A few bits of information filled out, and a script was run over the Internet. Bing-O, bang-O my own blog on my own domain.
Kinda neat.
