# If you want to have WordPress to have its own folder on your web
site (e.g. http://example.com/blog/ ), create a folder with the
preferred name (e.g. blog) on the server. Then, upload all of the
contents of the 'wordpress' folder (but <strong>not</strong> the
folder itself)  into the newly created folder on your web server (e.g.
blog).


I know this is late in the discussion. But, I wanted to present the
above modification as a possibility.
I like the other paragraphs.
The main impetus for even suggestion and alteration is to create a
situation in which the upload process is basically the same. The only
difference being the target directory on the server.

Just a thought.
