<h1>First Things First</h1>
<p>Welcome. WordPress is a very special project to me. Every developer and contributor adds something unique to the mix, and together we create something beautiful that I'm proud to be a part of. Thousands of hours have gone into WordPress, and we're dedicated to making it better every day. Thank you for making it part of your world.</p>
<p style="text-align: right">&#8212; Matt Mullenweg</p>

<h1>Installation: Famous 5-minute install</h1>
<ol>
	<li>Unzip the package in an empty directory and upload everything.</li>
	<li>Open <span class="file"><a href="wp-admin/install.php">wp-admin/install.php</a></span> in your browser. It will take you through the process to set up a <code>wp-config.php</code> file with your database connection details.
		<ol>
			<li>If for some reason this doesn't work, don't worry. It doesn't work on all web hosts. Open up <code>wp-config-sample.php</code> with a text editor like WordPad or similar and fill in your database connection details.</li>
			<li>Save the file as <code>wp-config.php</code> and upload it.</li>
			<li>Open <span class="file"><a href="wp-admin/install.php">wp-admin/install.php</a></span> in your browser.</li>
		</ol>
	</li>
	<li>Once the configuration file is set up, the installer will set up the tables needed for your blog. If there is an error, double check your <code>wp-config.php</code> file, and try again. If it fails again, please go to the <a href="http://wordpress.org/support/" title="WordPress support">support forums</a> with as much data as you can gather.</li>
	<li><strong>If you did not enter a password, note the password given to you.</strong> If you did not provide a username, it will be <code>admin</code>.</li>
	<li>The installer should then send you to the <a href="wp-login.php">login page</a>. Sign in with the username and password you chose during the installation. If a password was generated for you, you can then click on 'Profile' to change the password.</li>
</ol>

<h1>Upgrading</h1>
<h2>Using the Automatic Upgrader</h2>
<p>If you are upgrading from version 2.7 or higher, you can use the automatic upgrader:</p>
<ol>
	<li>Open the <span class="file"><a href="wp-admin/update-core.php">wp-admin/update-core.php</a></span> in your browser and follow the instructions.</li>
	<li>You wanted more, perhaps? That's it!</li>
</ol>

<h2>Upgrading Manually</h2>
<ol>
	<li>Before you upgrade anything, make sure you have backup copies of any files you may have modified such as <code>index.php</code>.</li>
	<li>Delete your old WordPress files, saving ones you've modified.</li>
	<li>Upload the new files.</li>
	<li>Point your browser to <span class="file"><a href="wp-admin/upgrade.php">/wp-admin/upgrade.php</a>.</span></li>
</ol>

<h2>Theme Template Changes</h2>
<p>If you have customized your theme templates, you may have to make some changes across major versions.</p>

	<dt><a href="http://planet.wordpress.org/">WordPress Planet</a></dt>
		<dd>The WordPress Planet is a news aggregator that brings together posts from WordPress blogs around the web.</dd>
	<dt><a href="http://wordpress.org/support/">WordPress Support Forums</a></dt>
		<dd>If you've looked everywhere and still can't find an answer, the support forums are very active and have a large community ready to help. To help them help you be sure to use a descriptive thread title and describe your question in as much detail as possible.</dd>
	<dt><a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/IRC">WordPress <abbr title="Internet Relay Chat">IRC</abbr> Channel</a></dt>
		<dd>There is an online chat channel that is used for discussion among people who use WordPress and occasionally support topics. The above wiki page should point you in the right direction. (<a href="irc://irc.freenode.net/wordpress">irc.freenode.net #wordpress</a>)</dd>
</dl>

<h1>System Requirements</h1>
<ul>
	<li><a href="http://php.net/">PHP</a> version <strong>4.3</strong> or higher.</li>
	<li><a href="http://www.mysql.com/">MySQL</a> version <strong>4.1.2</strong> or higher.</li>
</ul>

<h2>System Recommendations</h2>
<ul>
	<li>The <a href="http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_rewrite.html">mod_rewrite</a> Apache module.</li>
	<li>A link to <a href="http://wordpress.org/">http://wordpress.org</a> on your site.</li>
</ul>

<h1>Migrating from other systems</h1>
<p>WordPress can <a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Importing_Content">import from a number of systems</a>. First you need to get WordPress installed and working as described above, before using <a href="wp-admin/import.php" title="Import to WordPress">our import tools</a>.</p>

<h1><abbr title="eXtensible Markup Language">XML</abbr>-<abbr title="Remote Procedure Call">RPC</abbr> and Atom Interface</h1>
<p>You can post to your WordPress blog with tools like <a href="http://download.live.com/writer">Windows Live Writer</a>, <a href="http://illuminex.com/ecto/">Ecto</a>, <a href="http://bloggar.com/">w.bloggar</a>, <a href="http://radio.userland.com/">Radio Userland</a> (which means you can use Radio's email-to-blog feature), <a href="http://www.newzcrawler.com/">NewzCrawler</a>, and other tools that support the blogging <abbr title="application programming interface">API</abbr>s! :) You can read more about <a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/XML-RPC_Support"><abbr>XML</abbr>-<abbr>RPC</abbr> support on the Codex</a>.</p>

<h1>Post via Email</h1>
<p>You can post from an email client! To set this up go to your &quot;Writing&quot; options screen and fill in the connection details for your secret <abbr title="Post Office Protocol version 3">POP3</abbr> account. Then you need to set up <code>wp-mail.php</code> to execute periodically to check the mailbox for new posts. You can do it with <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cron">cron</a>-jobs, or if your host doesn't support it you can look into the various website-monitoring services, and make them check your <code>wp-mail.php</code> <abbr title="Uniform Resource Locator">URL</abbr>.</p>
<p>Posting is easy: Any email sent to the address you specify will be posted, with the subject as the title. It is best to keep the address discrete. The script will <em>delete</em> emails that are successfully posted.</p>

<h1>User Roles</h1>
<p>We introduced a very flexible roles system in version 2.0, eliminating user levels. You can <a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Roles_and_Capabilities" title="WordPress roles and capabilities">read more about Roles and Capabilities on the Codex</a>.</p>

<h1>Final notes</h1>
<ul>
	<li>If you have any suggestions, ideas, or comments, or if you (gasp!) found a bug, join us in the <a href="http://wordpress.org/support/">Support Forums</a>.</li>
	<li>WordPress now has a robust plugin <abbr title="application programming interface">API</abbr> that makes extending the code easy. If you are a developer interested in utilizing this, see the <a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API" title="WordPress plugin API">plugin documentation in the Codex</a>. In most all cases you shouldn't modify any of the core code.</li>
</ul>

<h1>Share the Love</h1>
<p>WordPress has no multi-million dollar marketing campaign or celebrity sponsors, but we do have something even better&#8212;you. If you enjoy WordPress please consider telling a friend, setting it up for someone less knowledgable than yourself, or writing the author of a media article that overlooks us.</p>
