Screencast: Installing a WordPress Blog

I just finished my very first screencast. Exhausting. I made a few errors and it isn't edited as professionally as some others. Maybe I'll do that later and reupload it.

Hoping it might be of some use to a few folks here, especially the more artistic types that might not have some of the techie side in them. As for me, it is probably one of the geekier things I've ever done, so I'm still trying to shake that out of my system.

It's designed for the "noob" to web development - someone who doesn't understand MySQL, FTP, PHP, etc., but who would like to try their hand at installing their own WordPress blog to start a blog for some reason (rather than use the free hosted versions at wordpress.com or blogger.com)

Please offer any suggestions for future webisodes. I'm planning to go into more depth on WordPress (customization, popular plugins, business blogging, and pulling in and exporting other feeds), as well as perhaps screencasts on TextPattern, MediaWiki, phpBB, and possibly Drupal. Believe it or not, I actually have "real" projects to build around these open-source systems, so I'm hoping that keeps the screencasts a bit more interesting than the typical boring examples you might otherwise see.

Egads.... how noobish of me.

Egads.... how noobish of me. That's what I get for not testing that link when logged out of Viddler. Apparently, that's just the internal link when logged in.

I updated the link in the original post. Thanks for pointing directly to the actual video, gilcreque... and your comments! You are right about the SFTP - I probably should have splained that a bit more in depth.
