1. The first step is to install WordPress, if this isn’t done then go ahead and install WordPress now(a tutorial will be coming on how to do this a bit later ).
2. With coda, create a new site… To do this click on the site’s icon in the menu bar and click “Add Site”).

Click on the site's icon then the add site button

3. Once you have done that and filled out all the information that coda requires to set up your site within the site’s area, you should now see a preview of your site within the site’s area of coda.
4. Double click on your site and it should connect to the web server and display your web server’s file system. It should look something like the picture below(may not be exact depending on your web server’s specifications).

5. Once you can view your site then you should see the root folder /www/ in your server’s root directory. This is where you will be installing WordPress. Drag the WordPress folder you downloaded into the /www/ folder. With coda you can directly drag the folder over from your desktop. Once that’s finished you should see a folder in the root of your directory called “WordPress” or whatever the name of your WordPress folder was.
6. Rename the WordPress folder to “blog” or whatever you want the WordPress CMS to be a part of.

7. Once you have it renamed you should see a bunch of php/css files inside your now renamed WordPress folder.
8. WordPress should now be installed for your site. You can access it by going to http://www.your-url.com/blog/. And if you want to make changed as the administrator then access the admin panel by going to your-url/blog/wp-admin/.

That’s it, you can now take advantage of the power of the WordPress CMS. In a later tutorial i’ll explain how to install and use the JQuery framework within your WordPress theme.
