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/

    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.
