SETTING UP A WORDPRESS BLOG – on my Existing Host account under my own Domain name-

Yes, I am talking about Setting Up This Very Blog.

The easiest way would be to sign up with wordpress.org or wordpress.com and get a blog on their web site but that would mean that my domain name would look like: www.noblab.wordpress.com. Because I wanted this blog to have its own domain name I took the following steps:

1. “Added another domain” (noblab.com) on my current webhost, dreamhost.com where I already have an account.

2. “Pointed the domain” noblab.com, to the DNS servers of dreamhost.com (ns1.dreamhost.com and ns2.dreamhost.com).

Go to www.wordpress.org, and find the page with information about “one-click installation” of WordPress on some of the more popular webhost companies http://wordpress.org/hosting/ . I then clicked on the Dreamhost icon and followed the procedure described after that.

And after that, of course, i spent waaay too much time playing with the different themes offered by wordpress.org before i settled on one. And yes, for sure I will keep changing design themes even as I will be posting more content on this blog.
