Firstly you'll be needing a host to host the blog! here are some information from the recommended hosting site

Before we continue sign up for an account HERE , click on signup and follow the instructions, after you have done it.. then return to this guide..

now for the wordpress stuffs

1) Download wordpress from HERE

2) Unzip the downloaded file (obviously >.>)

4) Scroll down and click on MySQL .. (highlighted on screenshot)

5) Fill up the create new database box... like this (Use your own desired username and database name ! ( and password of course) don't copy mine!.. u can if you want though =p ) also take note of the red underlined address

ss2bt5.gif

You should see this after creating the database.. don't throw this information away.. we'll be using it later

information.gif MySQL database has been created. Use these details for your PHP scripts:

$mysql_host = "mysql2.000webhost.com";

$mysql_database = "a4679836_mywpdb";

$mysql_user = "a4679836_wpadmin";

$mysql_password = "ilovekittens1";

It can take about 1 minute until your database and phpMyAdmin will start working.

6) Go back to your unzipped wordpress folder on the main folder, u should find this file called wp-config-sample.php with or without the .php extention (if u hide it), rename the file to wp-config.php or wp-config accordingly.

7) Open the file on notepad (right click the file, open with..., select notepad ) if you done it correctly, the first few lines will be look like this.. looking similar? hah its wad we're supposed to do with the information provided up there

so we change from this...

<?php

// ** MySQL settings ** //

define('DB_NAME', 'putyourdbnamehere'); // The name of the database

define('DB_USER', 'usernamehere'); // Your MySQL username

define('DB_PASSWORD', 'yourpasswordhere'); // ...and password

define('DB_HOST', 'localhost'); // 99% chance you won't need to change this value

define('DB_CHARSET', 'utf8');

define('DB_COLLATE', '');

to this! ( Note: it says 99% wont be needed to change that 'localhost' value.. but we fall into that 1% :( )

<?php

// ** MySQL settings ** //

define('DB_NAME', 'a4679836_mywpdb'); // The name of the database

define('DB_USER', 'a4679836_wpadmin'); // Your MySQL username

define('DB_PASSWORD', 'ilovekittens1'); // ...and password

define('DB_HOST', 'mysql2.000webhost.com'); // 99% chance you won't need to change this value

define('DB_CHARSET', 'utf8');

define('DB_COLLATE', '');

Save the file, make sure you don't do anything to the bottom part & make sure you don't save to the wrong file

8) Zip wordpress folder up with the modification done ( so its like everything is the same except for the wpconfig thing )

Now, we have to upload the zipped modified file into our webhost!

For those who need it...

Select File Manager...

ss3xl7.gif

Go inside public_html

ss4dp2.gif

Once inside, click on upload... you'll see a page with many details

Look for this and select the path to your modified, zipped, wordpress file

like this

then click on the green tick when you're done and wait for the upload to complete...

Note: You will see a lot of warnings just ignore them!

now you go to your main directory... ( do so by clicking on the blue reverse button after upload )

and tada! you have all your files uploaded ( and unzipped! )

Hang on there.. almost done.. find the file index.php and click Open on the right hand side .. wad do u see? =D

You can simply join a hosting that has cPanel on it, and go to your cPanel -> Fantastico -> WordPress.

A few clicks, and WordPress will be installed automatically!

PS: I won a one year hosting + domain name a few weeks ago on a web contest. If you're interested, send me a PM

I'm going to give it another try. in order to get your money. you must have at least 20 sign-ups.

If it happens again. I'm going to remove my referral banner in my blog.

And I will not host anymore with them (WinBubble with more than 100,000+++ downloads :D)... But as of now.

They are fast! and of course... Free...

    • Waymo recalls self-driving software after cars enter closed freeway work zones by Paul Hill Waymo, the self-driving car maker owned by Alphabet – the parent company of Google –, has recalled some of its fifth-generation Automated Driving Systems (ADS). It did so after some of its cars drove through closed construction zones. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the affected vehicles were capable of driving through a closed freeway construction zone and continuing to drive at speed. The listing on the NHTSA website says that Waymo is currently developing a solution to fix this issue, but in the meantime, freeway driving is being restricted. Waymo will update its ADS software so that vehicles can detect when they can avoid entering construction zones. According to the Safety Recall Report, on April 20, 2026, Waymo’s Field Safety Committee began meetings reviewing an event from April 11, 2026, and five events from April 19, 2026, where Waymo’s autonomous vehicles didn’t recognize and drove past ramp closure signs into the pre-planned freeway construction zones. This took place in Phoenix, Arizona. Separately, on May 18, 2026, seven Waymo vehicles entered freeway lanes with active construction in the San Francisco Bay Area by driving between cones that were placed to show the lane was closed. On the back of both of these events, Waymo restricted freeway driving until it could address the issue. In June, Waymo’s Safety Board reviewed the issue and additional information related to ADS performances around construction zones; then, as a result, it decided to conduct a recall. This development is not good for Waymo as it adds to a growing list of technical hiccups its cars have experienced. Ultimately, it will lead to more scrutiny from lawmakers around the world who will be more cautious about letting autonomous vehicles on their roads without tighter regulation. For readers in areas where Waymo operates, does this news make you more wary about stepping into one of these vehicles?
    • I'm still on Windows 10 22H2 because I didn't want to deal with all the issues in Windows 11, so I waited almost a week before installing the latest Patch Tuesday update (KB5094127), I went ahead and did it, and it was a huge mistake—ever since then, my File Explorer has seen a performance drop of about 30% when transferring large files... Once again, Microsoft has outdone itself! This update cannot be uninstalled, either through the Control Panel (via Settings) or by accessing Advanced Startup Options. The only possible alternative would be to use system restore points, but I’d have to reinstall all app and driver updates (and there’s no guarantee it would work). Or there’s the “nuclear option” of a in-place repair without losing files or apps, but even then, all my customizations would be lost! Microsoft just can’t help but mess everything up! Way to go, Microsoft! But I still don’t want your c****y Windows 11!
