going to be HTTP that’s fine you can leave it there and we’re going to choose the domain I’m setting this up for my brother Jason Runyan so we’re going to leave it at Jason Runyon got me you’re welcome Jason you can thank me later we’re gonna leave it at the root directory so if you want to install this blog at Jason run you got me / blog you could type in / blog at this point and that would install it into a subfolder but right now we’re just
going to install it at the root domain which is going to be totally fun and most of you guys will probably want to do that we’re gonna leave all these other fields blank but when we get down to site settings we’re gonna hit sitename we’re going to type in what the name of the site is going to be so Jason Runyan and then you can siphon your site name and site description right there after that you can choose to enable multi site feature or not
most of you guys are not going to need the multi-site feature but if you know that you’re going to need it go ahead and put that in here you’re going to select your username and password and then you can also choose your admin email after that you can choose your language most you guys going to leave it English which is the default you can click here and see the Advanced Options and get notifications on updates but you don’t really have to do
that either once we get that done all you’re going to do is click this install button and boom you’re going to wait a few seconds there we go so what previously I’ll show you guys what the site looks like before we installed this so right it was basically just an in motion landing page website coming soon stay tuned not really anything that exciting so now that we’ve got this installed we’re going to refresh this page and there we go there’s our
