It was a painful installation that took me a week to configure. WordPress 2.5 has recently been released after 6 months of labor (they say) incorporating probably every detail to make the web a better place to live. But the problem started when I found out that my new site’s Fantastico version has not yet been updated. Given that, I was totally clueless on what to do and had been tapping on every online resource that would teach me how. Finally, I nailed it down.

If you’re a beginner caught in the WP maze, watch this simple guide to installing your new WordPress. If you have an existing blog and want to do an upgrade to WordPress 2.5, I suggest you do back-up first. How? Mmm…that is something I still have to figure out when I have time. Visit WP support forums. I advise that you rely solely on the reliability of your webhost technical support team, your common sense and courage as answers are not easily found. You’ll need those, my friend.
