+Wordpress is a database driven blogging program designed to make it exceedingly
+easy to publish an online blog, sometimes also called a weblog or journal.
+
+Once this package is installed, there are a few configuration items which need
+to be performed before the blog is usable.  First, you need to establish a
+username and password to connect to your MySQL database as, and make both
+MySQL and Wordpress aware of this.  Let's start by creating the database and the
+username / password inside MySQL first:
+
+  # mysql
+  mysql> create database wordpress;
+  Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)
+
+  mysql> grant all privileges on wordpress.* to wordpress identified by 'wordpress';
+  Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)
+
+  mysql> flush privileges;
+  Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)
+
+  mysql> exit
+  Bye
+  #
+
+This has created an empty database called 'wordpress', created a user named
+'wordpress' with a password of 'wordpress', and given the 'wordpress' user total
+permission over the 'wordpress' database.  Obviously, you'll want to select a
+different password, and you may want to choose different database and user
+names depending on your installation.  The specific values you choose are
+not constrained, they simply need to be consistent between the database and the
+config file.
+
+Next, you need to edit your /etc/wordpress/wp-config.php file to reflect the
+values you've chosen.  These values will go in the appropriate places at the
+beginning of that file.
+
+Once that's done and the database server and web server have been started, 
+open a web browser to http://localhost/wordpress/wp-admin/install.php and 
+follow the instructions given to you on the pages you see to set up the 
+database tables and begin publishing your blog.
