Am I doing the the correct way?

My website is www.Domain.com, I want to add a blog to the site.

When I am installing the WP blog, do I just place the blog in the "Blog" directory so it appears as such: www.Domain.com/blog

Thank you,
Tim

    That's one way - meaning you should upload the content of the unzipped "wordpress" folder into the /blog/ folder.

    Another way is, depending on your site's goals, structure etc. to use a subdomain:
    subdomain.example.com

    Or you can create a new page.

      Hmm... he didn't say he had a WP site at the root. He may have there a traditional HTML site in which case making a new page won't magically create a WP blog

    Yes, you can do that way, but if you website is a BLOG, you should add wordpress to the root folder and the blog will appear on www.domain.com
