Step Four: Upload WordPress Files to your Host using FTP
Move files from your local machine to your hosting account
Using your hosts FTP interface, or a stand-alone FTP program ( I use AceFTP Free, found here), upload the WordPress files to either the root or another directory. I uploaded mine to my development directory, http://dev.wordpressmodder.org/dev/

this helps a lot I usually have a lot of problems loading wordpress and this guide really helped me out.
Excellent visual guides! http://www.becomeablogger.com is providing video visual guides, although they don’t specifiy. I think that people have trouble going forward after the blog has been set up, which is where I am at this point. The Video Guide was excellent, it stated the same things you did in your presentation, but then there is no assistance going forward. Hopefully as I continue to dig further, there are tutorials on how to upload photos, videos, and edit the website as well as the theme colors.

One of the better WP install guides I’ve found. Hope it makes it to the top of the Serps.
