Go to http://favicon.cc.
Pick a color and draw the frame.
Click “Download favicon”.
Upload downloadded image to your webiste’s (blog’s) root folder using a FTP client.

Clear the browser’s cache to view the favicon image.

Some services offer automatic wordpress installation, but I will write a tutorial on how to set up your own blog manually.

Requirements:

Set up steps:

Go to http://wordpress.org/download/ and download the latest version of wordpress.
Extract the zipped file and copy all files inside the wordpress folder to the root folder of your website using ftp.
Rename (or copy) file wp-config-sample.php to wp-config.php. Use a text editor to open renamed file and edit DB_NAME, DB_USER, DB_PASSWORD and DB_HOST parameters.
Go to http://yourdomain.com/wp-admin/install.php with your web browser.
Type in your blog’s title and your email.
If the installation succeed, don’t forget to remember or write down the user name and the password.
Log in, your blog is installed.
