Complete the 2-Step Registration 

Congratulations for successfully installed WordPress. Complete the 2 step registration process when prompted and you are good to go. The inputs may be modified if desired at the Options menu.

Customize

Next is to customise your site with desired  themes and plugins.

Again some links that you can refer to for help if you run into any trouble in the installation process:

WordPress Main Page
WordPress Support Forums

Create Contents 

Last, but not least, insert contents. Try to get up to about 12 quality posts ASAP. 12 is just a general guide. Without sufficient contents, Adsense or Blogrush may reject your application.

That completes our series of setting up a WordPress website.

Welcome to the WordPress blogging community! Happy blogging!
