Install Your Own Wordpress Blog

Wordpress claims a *5 minute install* in their literature and videos. Bull-crap.

Oh, I know, the installation part really is that fast, but there is so much more to a self-hosted blog than just the Wordpress software install. You have to buy a domain, get hosting, create a MySQL database, download Wordpress, extract it, upload it to your domain, install the software, then update settings and add a theme.

When I explain to those I am mentoring on *branding* themselves that they need a blog to help, most get a glazed look in their eye. Some just give up.

I set out to break it down into manageable chunks, in a step by step video (actually, it's an 8 part video) that would help anyone, regardless of experience, create their very own self-hosted Wordpress blog.

Because this video series has 8 parts, I created a *theater* for it on a different page. The theater is just too large to fit within the blog post. So, click the image above, or the link below to see the *Install Wordpress * video.

I am also including all 8 videos here if you prefer. They should be viewed in order if at all possible!
