I am pretty ignorant when it comes to WP or any technical stuffs. Could someone please state here the step by steps for me to follow to link my site to WP?

Something like www.mydomain.com to www.mydomain.com/blog

    Lian,

    You would simply insert a bit of code into the head tag part of your index.html file in your domain's root directory to re-direct to your blog...something like this:

    Code:
    <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="2;url=http://yourdomain.com/blog">
    if you don't have any files in your site's directory create a blank HTML page...just copy and paste this code below into a Notepad and save it as index.html:

    Code:
    <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">

<html>
<head>
    <title>Your Site Name</title>
    <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="2;url=http://yourdomain.com/blog">
    
</head>

<body>



</body>
</html>
    Then put this index.html file in your server's root directory at yourdomain.com

    and that will now re-direct to your installed WP blog.

      Hi Karen,

      Thanks for responding. My question was actually wrong. I wanted to install a WP blog on my site. I was so ignorant I couldn't even ask the right question

      I looked for a video on youtube and figured out how to do it later on. It was so easy with fantistico. But I would not have looked for the video in the first place if had I not realized the error in the question I asked from your answer.

        Lian,

        If you are hosting with a company that uses cpanel
        it's almost automatic.

        If not change hosting companies.

        All you have to do is go into your
        cpanel look around until you see
        a button that says "Fantastico"

        Then click on that, it will take you
        to another page.

        Now look on the left see where it says "Blogs"?
        Now see where it says "Wordpress"? Click on that
        and follow the instruction.

        Make sure you write everything down.
