Step 4: WordPress installation
Written by Nico on November 25, 2008 – 3:13 am -With your domain registered and hosting taken care of, it’s time to install your blog software. There are different software packages available for blogging, some free, some paid. The only one I have ever tried is WordPress and I didn’t ever bother to look at others, that’s how much I like it.
Being a programmer myself, I know a good piece of software when I see it. WordPress is one of the software packages that I’ve liked from day one and it is getting better with each new release. The feature I like most has got to be their plugin engine. Once you figure out how it works, it’s very easy to write your own plugins for WordPress that add functionality or change existing functionalities of the software. If you are not a programmer, there are free WordPress plugins available for most tasks you can think of and installing them only requires uploading the plugin files.
I’m wandering off, this post should be about installing WordPress, but it’s turning into a WordPress promotion, I’ll save the rest for a later post. Truth is, there’s not much to write when talking about installing the software. After downloading the latest stable release from the WordPress download page, all you have to do is edit the configuration file, so the software can access your database. Detailed installation instructions can be found on the WordPress site.

Yes, most of the time is spend uploading the files to the server. After that the actual installation time is probably even less than a minute.
