after logging in, scroll down to the “Fantastico icon” and click it.

Then you’ll see this screen where you need to enter the details of your blog and create a username and password etc. (Blogs are best set up on the homepage of your domain so leave the ‘directory’ blank):

then click on “install wordpress”

by this time you should now see your site up and running. but wait..

the theme of the site is not what you expected. that’s because that’s wordpress’ default theme. it’s the theme that’s automatically installed and provided to you by wordpress.
