So here is the file I downloaded, right here from wordpress.org. I need to extract this, you can use Windows based compression program. I like WinRAR; you can download and install that, just Google WinRAR. Download and install and you will exactly what you are seeing what I am seeing right here, but anyways, let's extract here. It takes like seriously no time at all, we have that extracted. Now let's go back over to our FTP program, FileZilla.
Here it is, let's navigate to the directory where I just extracted. Okay, here we go, here is a whole bunch of files. Ctrl+A on your keyboard or if you want to select all some way, select all the files. Again, left side, computer; right side, web host. Take all these files, click, drag, boom! Upload all the files to the web host. Okay, as you have finished uploading all the files, let's go to our website; iamthecoolestpersonever.com, whatever it was that you got. Go to that website in your browser. Look here; there is no configuration file that is what it is telling me.
So what it is giving us the option to do, to create one. So let's create a configuration file. I will click on that. It is telling us, hey, we need. Oh! Look at this, database information; name, host, password. I told you guys that you will be using this for something. We are going to use those. So let's click on and let's go. Alright, do you remember those four variables? Let's put these all right here. So let's go back to my one-o-one, look at this; Database name. I can copy it. Hey, I can paste it. Host, host; user name, user name; password, password.
Alright that's all I need to do, let's click on Submit. Let's run the install. Alright, what's the name of your website? Just ignore Blog Title, it is a website, damn it. It's a website, WordPress is not just blogs, you can build websites too. What is the title of your web site? Your email, please make sure whatever email you do put in here is valid because it is going to send your admin's password. So do put an email in here that is valid. After you put your email in there, click on, hey, Install WordPress. That took like three seconds seriously if that.
Here is your user name, here is your password, let's log in and I am going to click on Log In. Here we go, admin and I am going to paste my password and I am going to click on Log In. So here I am, I am in the back-end of my website that I just put together. Do I have my web site? You can click on this right here and hey, what do you know, we have a freaking website. How freaking sweet is that! Alright, you may not like the way it looks, WordPress has the things called themes, themes change the design of your website. How easy is it to switch a theme?
Okay, let's go back to wordpress.org. I am here at wordpress.org, you can see at the top, it says Extend. We are going to click on Extend. Over here on the left-hand side, it says, Themes, we are going to click on Themes and look at this, there is a bunch of themes that you can pick from. Okay, which one you want? I like this one right here. So let's click on Download.
So now, let's go to the directory where we just download that file. You can see the zip file right here. We are going to right click it, click Extract Here, it will create us a little folder as our little japan-style. Let's go back over to my website, you are going to see a few different folders here. Again, left side, my computer; right side, web host, this is where your web site is. You are going to see three folders here; you are going to find a folder called wp-content, we are going click on wp-content and you are going to see a folder in here called themes. Let's open that folder here, let's go on the left-hand side over here where our computer is. Let's go back, here is our themes japan-style, I am going to click, drag it over here, give it a couple of seconds, let the files upload. We are going to go back to our site's admin, we are going to click on this little button here that says Design and you are going to see the current themes available, Available Themes. Oh my God! Japan-style is there.
Alright, let's activate it, I click on it. It shows a quick preview of what your site is going to look like. Up on the top right-hand corner, I'll click on Activate Japan style and here is our site. Again, let's refresh the page. We have a whole new different looking website. Amazing! Isn't it? Seriously that is it, you just built a website. It looks sweet; it took me less than ten minutes. I only want to say, this is Anthony Montalbano with InternetRiot.com, go build yourself a damn website right now. InternetRiot.com!
