Excellent video Kharim!

I follow from beginning till the end, although there is one thing i usually do first before doing anything else. It is changing random password to my own.

Good job!

Hey Kharim,

Great video, it seems Wordpress is very easy to install. As I build a lot of niche sites I find installing via Fantastico is the most appropriate way to install websites a lot faster.

Regards
Karl
