Installing WordPress in 2½ minutes

The following screencast demonstrates how easy it is to install WordPress, a free and open source blogging platform, in no more than 2½ minutes. The developers are proud of their 5-minute easy installation process, but I’m proud to demonstrate that it can be done in less.

A follow-up screencast that shows how to configure a new WordPress blog is in the works.

I know I’m harping a bit on how great WordPress 2.5 is, but here’s some eye candy:

The admin backend is extensively pluggable; it’s really easy to create colour themes, and someone has created a plugin that makes it “Stylish Blue“.

I can’t wait to give this sort of awesome interface to my blog service users over at PersonalLog.
