In the previous post, I answered a question about moving an existing domain and changing the DNS to point to Bluehost.  Now that you have an account set up, you’re ready to install your blog.

Bluehost’s Control Panel makes installing a blog as easy as a walk in the park.  There’s really nothing you have to do except verify a few options and click to install.  I have created a step-by-step tutorial to help you choose the right options.

As an example, you’ll need to decide the location of your blog.  Will you use it as an add-on directory (like THIS blog), i.e. www.yourdomain.com/blog/.  Or, will you use WordPress to be the platform for your entire website as I explained in the book?

Regardless of your choice, installing WordPress is easy, and the tutorial I created explains everything.

Visit “Set-up your blog on Bluehost” and let me know if you have any questions.
