I would like to design a site using wordpress. Can any one help me out or give me useful tips about wordpress.

Thanx and Godspeed!

its very easy, like installing a software.

You need to buy a webhosting plan( it has to support php mysql) and then you go to www. to download the CMS.

That is the first step

Thanx man.but how much would the web hosting plan cost. thanx a million.

Mmmmmmmm,

If you want to make naira payments, then i will suggest www.nairahost.com .

Thanx man. So when i get a web host, so then how does word press cum 2 place.

Godspeed!

1. Register a Domain Name

2. Find a Good Web Host - HostGator has everything you need to Host your WordPress Site. Almost every Webhosts provide sufficient Support for CMSs ( with a few exceptions)

3. If your WebHost Offers Cpanel, then you can install WordPress on your Home Directory in a matter of a few clicks. If not, go to the wordpress.org, download the CMS Package, unzip it and upload the contents of the unzipped folder directly to your Site (or a specific folder on your Site, as you wish).

4. Customise the Site as you please from the Theme Editor (which can be accessed through the Admin Panel).

My Website is Powered by WordPress and it took me less than 1 hour to get it all setup with additional Plugins and Customisations to the Template.

Thanx man. Please can u give me a rough estimate of what it wud cost me to have a site like yours. Thanx man. i appreciate it

Godspeed!

Rough estimate

1. Domain Registration: GBP 6.99

2. Hosting: I use a Hostgator Reseller that costs $24.95 because I run quite a few websites

3. My Hosting Account provides me Cpanel Option so it was awfully easy to install Wordpress. But if your Hosting Account does not provide Cpanel, you can always upload the files as per the instructions provided.

Download Themes and Customise them to your Taste using the Theme Editor in the Admin.

Have Fun.

Im searching for some 1 to customise a wordpress template for me with CMS

@mrph, i think you can do it yourself, just follow this step
1. Get the themes: get it at themes.wordpress.net or you can google it. Then download ir.
2. Unzip software to unzip the downloaded themes
3. an FTP client, my best pick is filezilla, get how to use it at http://wiki.filezilla-project.org/Using
4. Log into you cpanel to upload it, make sure you upload it into 'themes' folder under 'wp-content' folder
5. Log in now into your wordpress admin and goto 'presentation' to change the themes.
6. Use the themes editor in your admin to edit the theme

Apart from PHP and MySql are there other requirements, thanks guyz 4 all your info

@Seton,
Thanks for your help.
Actually I know about uploading a theme, my issue is that I need a theme designed to my taste and look.
I have already designed it on jpg - how I want it to look like. I have not actually seen 1 that satisfies my wants
