Now we have a lot of the base work out completed.  We have a domain, the hosting solution is locked and loaded... we are on our way to getting a Wordpress blog setup and ready to go.  The first thing to realize is... there is more than one way to install Wordpress.  Generally speaking, we can use automated tools that are supplied by our hosting service, or we can choose to install manually.  Each way works.  The end goal is accomplished by either route.  You may ask yourself... why would anyone install Wordpress manually?  There are many reasons for this.  For example, more control over the configuration, the server environment may demand it, to learn more about Wordpress... on and on.  In this blog series, we will outline each method.  Links are provided below.
