How do I install wordpress onto hostgator

I am a technical dunce, but after hearing how easy it was to get a hostgator account, and download wordpress onto it I decided to give it a try.

I have been messing around with it for over 2 hours, I have read all of the tutorials and everything. I just cant seem to figure it out.

It's hard to follow instructions when you dont even know what any of the words mean.

can anyone help me.

    EASiest is to log into your cpanel, scroll down till you see fantastico deluxe under Software/Services.
    Click on that, click on wordpress and fill in the boxes.

    Once you on the fantastico screen

    New Installation (2.6.3) <--- Click on the link then on the next screen do the below.

    Install into directory: choose a name and add it here such as myblog

    Fill out admin username and password

    Fill in Nickname, Email, Site Name, and Description

    Click on "Install WordPress"

    On the next screen it will have a link for you to click on to finish install..

    Its that simple...
