These are my setup notes for wordpress. They are not complete.
- Create the database manually making sure ut8mb4_unicode_ci is selected
- Upload the zip file and extract
- Run the wp setup procedure (very easy) using no-reply@quantumwarp.com and main-user
- There is a sample page setup along with some preconfigured widgets on the right
- Delete the sample page
- Create the pages (they will not show yet)
- Create a menu and assign the pages (appearance/menus)
- Set a static home page (settings/reading/front page displays) set ‘A static page’
