    First, you'll need to install WordPress.

    If your hosting company uses cPanel, you'll be able to do it automatically (in almost all cases). Just look for fantastico, simplescripts or the WordPress logo. If not, you'll have to install it manually on your server.

    If it helps, I run a membership site (membership is free) that that offers over 30 free WordPress training videos. If you're interested you'll find the link below.

    You could always do a YouTube search as well.

    Let me know if you have any other questions... always glad to help!

      Find a host that uses 1 click installation trough fantastic. I would use Hostgator or Bluehost.

    Definately use a service which offers cpanel. It makes installation of WP blogs simple by using Fantastico.

      Just put cpanel after the .com/ of your domain name and it will bring you to your cPanel login page.
