Dec 4th
Hie,
There have be loads of how tos available on this this topic. So, here I am gonna write about specifically how did i had setup my blog.
I found one free webhosting site (000webhost) , which also happens to provide free domain name too ( its good if you don’t have your own domain name ). So, here are the steps.
- Download wordpress from wordpress.org .
- Get one domain from the website that I have mentioned before.
- Now, log into your account of your domain. In the control panel you will have loads of stuff to play but things we are looking are under Software/Services and Files Sections. ( I have circled them here )
- Firstly create one database using MySQL, and note down Hostname,DB Name, User Name,Password somewhere.
