Set Up a WordPress Blog Here’s how you set up your WordPress Blog on your URL (domain). The first thing you need to do is to make sure you have a hosting account created. Your hosting account must include: • PHP 4.3 (or higher) • MySQL 4.0 (or higher) • Mod_rewrite Apache module You do not need to worry about what these features are, it is just important that you make sure you have them. Try to get hosting at the same place you set up your domain.
