My original series of posts explaining how to install and setup your very own WordPress blog with an optional forum.
These were originally written way back around 2009-2010, lost, recovered, etc. Although some of it is out of date, for example, there was no block editor back then and a lot of the plugins are gone or I wouldn’t use them today, the basic ideas and principles still apply. And if you don’t like the block editor, you can always install the classic editor plugin and do it the old fashioned way.
