Ok, here are some steps that you can follow. - Making Wordpress (WP) your default site.
- Login to your Trap17 cPanel (http://YourHostingName.trap17.com/cpanel)
- Once you are logged in, scroll down to the 'preinstalled scripts' box
- Then, click on Fantastico
- In Fantastico, click on Wordpress, under the blogs section.
- In the box on the right, Click on 'New Installation (2.0.2)'
- Select the domain/subdomain you want to install Wordpress on.
- Since you want your default site to be the Wordpress blog system, leave 'Install in directory' blank
- Under the 'Admin access data' section, enter the administrative details.
- Under 'Base configuration' enter the required details (Admin nickname, Admin e-mail, Site name,
- Description - you can edit all these details later on!)
- Enter the 'E-mail account configuration' details as provided by Trap17
- After filling all the required information, click on the 'Install WordPress' button
- If there are any errors, you will see a message like 'The installation can not be completed:'
- If you already installed another script via Fantastico in the root of the website, you will see an error message saying: 'You cannot install more than one script in the root directory of a domain.' To solve this problem, you will have to delete the previously installed script from the website.
- I all the information is correct, you should see a message similar to:
QUOTE Install WordPress (2/3) The MySQL database and MySQL user yourUsername_wrdp1 will be created and used for this installation. - You chose to install in the domain DomainName.trap17.com, in a subdirectory called. - The access URL will be: http://DomainName.trap17.com. Click on Finish installation to continue. - Now, click on the Finish Installation button and you are done!

These steps will set your default site as the WordPress blogging system! For installing new themes, follow these simple steps - Download your desired theme (for this example, I will use Connections - http://managedtasks.com/wpthemes/connections.zip)
- Unzip the file and you will see a folder that says Connections
- Minimize this folder window and connect to your site via FTP (SmartFTP recommended - use this wonderful tutorial if you need help with SmartFTP: http://www.trap17.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=37247)
- First, go to public_html.
- Then, go to wp-content (assuming you installed the Wordpress blog system in your root directory).
- Then open up the themes folder.
- Now, drag the WordPress theme folder (Connections in this case) and drop it in the themes folder of your site (via FTP)
- After the folder has been uploaded, login to your WordPress Administration Panel.
- In the menu located at the top, click in the 'Presentations' link
- Once the page loads, you should see the newly uploaded theme under the 'Available Themes' title.
- Now, click on the *new* theme that you want to use
- You will see a message on the top of the page, that says "New theme activated. View site »"
- Click on View Site » to view your new theme in action
Hope this helps

I currently run my own Wordpress blog and have set quite a few up for friends. If you want any help then email me or get me on MSN messenger and I will be glad to help you. Theme installation is very simple. Download a theme (there are thousands listed all over the web) and if it is a .ZIP archive then extract it. Upload the folder into the /wp-content/themes/ directory. Then go into your Wordpress admin panel and enable the new theme.
