(5) Left Click on "Install" in the next Menu
(6) Prepare for Installation:
(a) Select the version of WordPress you wish to install. This will usually be the default.

(c) Left click on "Click here to display" under "Advanced Options" to assign a Username and Password for the blog's administrator when the blog is installed. Otherewise, you'll have to go back later to change the default ones that will be automatically assigned.
(7) Finish the Preparations:

(b) Assign a Username and Password for the Administrator.
(c) Check "Automatically create a new database."
(d) Check the box to show you've read all the legal information.
(e) Left click on "Complete" to begin installing the blog.
(8) A screen will appear, showing the progress of the install process. Normally, this takes only a few moments.
(9) When the installation is complete, the information you need to login to the blog will appear.
(a) To log in as administrator, type the URL ending in "/wp-admin" into your browser and then enter the administrator's Username and Password when the menu asking for them appears.
(b) To simply view the blog, use the address that DOES NOT end in "/wp-admin." This will take you directly to the blog.

To block a search engine:
(a) Left click on the down arrow next to "Settings" to show the available choices.
(b) Left click on "Privacy."
(12) Then, on the next screen:
(a) Activate "I would like to block search engines, but allow normal visitors.
(b) Left click on "Save Changes."
Now, only people who know the URL of the blog will be able to view it.
