How to install Your Own WordPress Blog, tutorial includes free domain and hosting!
https://s18.postimg.org/wb1q50jpl/web_design_1.jpg

I would like to bring another one of my skills to the table, WordPress baby! Starting with this post I will be covering the basics, domain name, hosting, setup and how to install a  hosted WordPress Site from scratch!

In this steemit tutorial I will show you working with WordPress doesn’t have to be complicated or expensive. In fact, I am going to show you how to get started 100% FREE, the only cost being your valuable time. 

I know starting a self hosted WordPress blog  can be intimidating if you don’t have the required technological experience. Not to mention the over whelming amount of information on the net that confuses the matter even more. Never fear, I am going to walk you through step by step. :-)

# What is WordPress?

https://s16.postimg.org/fd9f00vyd/wp_jp.jpg

> WordPress is a free and open-source content management system (CMS) based on PHP and MySQL. WordPress is installed on a web server, which either is part of an Internet hosting service or is a network host itself; the first case may be on a service like WordPress.com, for example, and the second case is a computer running the software package WordPress.org. An example of the second case is a local computer configured to act as its own web server hosting WordPress for single-user testing or learning purposes. Features include a plugin architecture and a template system. WordPress was used by more than 26.4% of the top 10 million websites as of April 2016. WordPress is the easiest and most popular blogging system in use on the Web,  at more than 60 million websites. [Wiki](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WordPress)

# Getting Started

Hosting is your first challenge when it comes to a self hosted website. A simple Google search will make any beginners head spin. For this tutorial I have eliminated all the  guess work and will be  recommending a free hosting service with everything you need to get started quickly without hassle.

# Hosting

To get started you will need to register a free account with [www.biz.nf.co.nf](https://www.biz.nf/co.nf-domain.php). Here you will be able to claim a free domain name as well as a free limited hosting package that is more than adequate enough for a personal site and learning WordPress.  Another great thing about hosting with BIZ.NF is the fact that they accept bitcoin as payment, awesome for the steemit community wouldn't you say :-)

https://s4.postimg.org/fq3fsef59/step_1.jpg
> Register your free account with [www.biz.nf.co.nf](https://www.biz.nf/co.nf-domain.php)

https://s9.postimg.org/4cxe0dvnz/step_2.jpg
> Choose the free plan then click on next....

From this point everything is self explanatory, once your account has been verified you will have access your your BIZ.NF dashboard like in the picture below..

https://s17.postimg.org/zd9jzaybj/step_3.jpg

Next click on Domain manager

https://s12.postimg.org/kepqdnkil/step_4.jpg

Click on 'create a free co.nf domain' ,choose your domain name and then click create..

https://s21.postimg.org/74vj9atx3/step_6.jpg

Once your free domain name has been created we are ready to install WordPress. Head back to your dashboard and click on the 'Zacky Installer'

https://s10.postimg.org/4uj2r9vqh/step_7.jpg 

Once the Zacky Installer has launched click on the WordPress installation option

https://s9.postimg.org/pjk82el33/step_8.jpg 

Next choose your theme, I skipped this part for the tutorial as I would like to cover themes in more details possibly with another tutorial. If you prefer to keep things simple skip this step and hit next, WordPress will automatically install a default theme.

https://s9.postimg.org/epjvf1csf/step9.jpg

Now to configure your website settings, choose the free domain name you created and Enter your Website Title, Admin Email Address,  Admin Username and Admin Password. Hit next...

https://s10.postimg.org/yn8o1f4nd/step_9.jpg

Next confirm and save your log in details, then click on install..

https://s21.postimg.org/c4satsgxz/step_10.jpg

Congratulations you have successfully installed and setup your own domain name and WordPress Blog! Click on your domain name and your new WordPress site will open in a new tab.

https://s18.postimg.org/t9riw9brd/Untitled_11.jpg

# A brief WordPress Introduction

Once your WordPress setup has been done visit your site and have a look around. Nothing fancy yet, the fun has just started! If all has gone to plan you should have a basic installation that looks like the picture below.

https://s9.postimg.org/xjtnmge6n/new_wordpress.jpg

Your next step will be to log in to your WordPress site, to do this we need to ad the '/wp-admin extension' to the domain name of your new site. For example `yourdomain.co.nf/wp-admin` and hit enter in your browser.

https://s18.postimg.org/mbwvf0nnd/wp_login.jpg 

If everything is still in order you should be redirected to your admin log in page. Enter you admin username and password you created and log in!

https://s16.postimg.org/lsbnnx09h/wordpres_log_in.jpg

Welcome to your WordPress back end!

https://s10.postimg.org/4694jg0ll/wordpress_backend.jpg

At this point you have successfully created a free domain name, claimed free hosting and done a complete word press installation.  I will base my next tutorial on the community feedback I receive from this post as WordPress has much to cover.

My best advice now is have a look around and try and familiarize yourself with the concept and idea of using a CMS platform. WordPress is great fun once you get the hang of things and I have made getting started here very easy. Don't be intimidated you cant break anything I won't be able to fix for you, and in fact if you do break it I will be impressed!

As mentioned I am going to rely on the comments and feedback from this post to determine the next tutorial. Thanks for reading I hope his as useful.

Hi @virtashare! 

Thank you for this guide! 
Unluckyly the link to http://steemit.co.nf is not working. 
***
As a free hoster, I can recommend https://infinityfree.net. 
In comparison to http://biz.nf you are able to upload files with a size up to 10 MB with unlimited disk space and bandwidth. 
(OK - right at this moment I recognized that www.biz.nf has extended up to 15 MB in the free version, but they still got limited bandwidth!) 

But the main reason for usinf infinityfree.net  is, that you can get there a free .com-subdomain, e.g. *your-domain.epizy.com*. 
According to my experience, a .com.domain is able to rank better in google. 
***
Regards, 
Dominik

Have you found anything that will either let you post audio files or post entire wordpress posts, with audio files? That seems like something we're never going to see.

Has anyone found a way to get around the lack of capability in SteemIt to post audio files maybe a pop-out page for one? I'm not particularly interested in throwing up a Youtube with a static background, but I feel like I'm missing something obvious.

You can use the Phlox-Theme by Averta. 
It is a free theme which is highly customizable. 
You should be able to play audio-files with it.
