Installation and setup

New to the series? Then checkout parts 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5

Before you can really do any kind of blogging, you must install and setup the Content Management System you picked from part 3 of this series. Due to the broad scope of this topic, I’m only going to provide links to existing tuturials (which is harder than it sounds. Some of these sites practically hide the installation instructions). Plus, l don’t see a need to reinvent the wheel. So, I apologize for not writing a more inclusive post but even if I tried you would not learn everything you needed from me because my knowledge of all the CMSs provided in part 3 is limited. However, just because I haven’t written a tutorial per se, you may still ask me how to do something. I may not know, but I’ll try anyway. FYI: I know Wordpress the best.

Here goes nothing:

Wordpress

Text Pattern

Radiant

Joomla

Mambo

Blogger

Expression Engine Core

Typo3

Drupal

Movable Type

Type Pad

MediaWiki

I hope these links help you get your new blog installed. If you know of any other great resources let me know. Thanks!
