Learn How to Make a Blog With Wordpress

If you have chosen to make a blog and want to learn how to make a blog with wordpress there are two options available to you. If you have been following the instructions on this website then you will already have bought your domain name with godaddy and hosting with hostgator. This tutorial will show you how to install wordpress using hostgators cpanel one click install. This is the easiest method to set up a blog on wordpress. The other option is to manually install wordpress which I will cover at a later date, it is slightly more involved but is not difficult. However using a host that offers one click install (hostgator uses fantastico) is by far the most convenient way.
