On your side. Good point. Maybe we need to do a full run at this and make sure that we aren't shooting ourselves in the foot and making things worse. <br><br>Lroelle<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Sep 20, 2011 at 12:55 PM, esmi at quirm dot net <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:esmi@quirm.net">esmi@quirm.net</a>></span> wrote:<br>

Couldn't agree more. Perhaps this should be dealt with at the installation stage?<br>
<br>
<<a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Installing_WordPress" target="_blank">http://codex.wordpress.org/<u></u>Installing_WordPress</a>> does mention it but perhaps it could emphasised more? In fact maybe the whole 5 minute guide could do with an overhaul? There are lots of references to "directories" and subdirectories" whilst people seem more used to "folders" these days.<br>

Sample rewrite of Step 5:<br>
<br>
5. Get ready to upload the WordPress files to your web server:<br>
<br>
# If you want WordPress to run your main site (e.g. <a href="http://example.com/" target="_blank">http://example.com/</a>), upload all of the contents of the 'wordpress' folder (but *not* the folder itself) to your web server.<br>
<br>
# If you want to have WordPress to have its own folder on your web site (e.g. <a href="http://example.com/blog/" target="_blank">http://example.com/blog/</a>), rename the wordpress folder on your computer to your preferred name (e.g. blog) and then upload the entire folder to your web server.<br>
