    I’m new to this and I am sure that I am making it harder than it has to be. I knew I wasnt savvy but I thought I was at least computer literate. If someone has some sort of instructions on how to get started (the ones WordPress gives upon download doesn’t help me), I’d be so grateful! I am using BlueHost and paid for my domain. I thought that this would be as easy as geocities to create a website/blog– but this is more difficult. ANyone want to adopt a newbie?

    Thanks!

    I talked to the Codex – it volunteered to help you get rolling: http://codex.wordpress.org/Getting_Started_with_WordPress

    Good stuff to peruse there that should get you up and going.

    Thanks to you both. I tried Podz recommendation and used the c-panel-x tutorial. Podz, I am stuck now. I made it through the tutorial but got stuck at the last step where I am supposed to “run installation”. I don’t really understand where on Bluehost to find this directory to upload the WordPress stuff to, or how to upload this wordpress stuff. I am so frustrated– I don’t know what most of the buttons on bluehost are for! And I made it through the entire tutorial completely smoothly until this last step. Your help is so appreciated!

    Thanks,

    Steph
