It is flexible and easy to use so I always suggest you to use wordpress.... because it is dynamic content management system specially used for blogging.You can get number of plugins to manage your sites or blogs. In this tutorial, I am using localhost to install wordpress, but you also can use online hosting to install wordpress, where you do not have to download wordpress through wordpress.org because many of the hosting service provide already install wordpress installer there which easily install wordpress in few seconds.

  2. Just unzip it into the htdocs folder of xampp if you are using xampp. If you are using wamp as your localhost, just unzip wordpress into www folder.
  3. When you unzip the wordpress. Then you have to create a database for your wordpress. It must be done before installation of your wordpress.
  4. To make new database goto localhost/phpmyadmin and create new database name - such as "testwordpress".
  5. Now go to url bar and type localhost/YOUR-WORDPRESS-FOLDER name, then hit enter.
  6. Now you will be prompted to a requirements listed page where you make remember of 5 things and they are database name, database username, database password, host and prefix.
  7. If you make and know all these 5 things, you go for installation, otherwise you have to find them.
  8. Now in another window, you have to provide site title, username, password etc and click for run install. In a few minutes your wordpress will be installed if you provide all the correct information.
  9. Then login to your dashboard which seems as shown in below figure.
