You'll need a database to use Wordpress. Once the database is configured, Wordpress is amazingly easy to install.
If you don't have a database, then you're SOL with Wordpress.
Everything looks good from here... Yes. Yes, this is a fertile land, and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... 'This Land.' I think we should call it 'your grave!'

All is well that ends in pizza.
I'm sure someone here has Wordpress experience, it shouldn't take long.

MM, I'm pretty sure if you want a separate blog for Kerfuffle Bunny you'll need a second Wordpress installation in that directory.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020
Okay, I can upload WP to that directory, but it won't let me run the install.php.
According to the instructions, you type in "address.com/wp-admin/install.php" in your browser and it will install the thing. But when I type in "http://www.youllallpay.com/kb/wp-admin/install.php" it gives me an error message.

That sounds like a permissions issue with the /kb folder rather than a problem with Wordpress, but I've never done a manual installation so I'm not going to be much help. (Dreamhost, bless them, has WP available as a one-click install so I don't have to know how to do anything but tweak templates.)

Sorry, I didn't read enough I was thinking this was the first Wordpress install.
I've never had two Wordpress installs on the same domain, I've used subdomains for that.

Please to clarify for Monkey Man.

Instead of "blahblah.com/monkeys" (subdirectory), use "monkeys.blahblah.com" (subdomain)
Most web hosts will give you unlimited free subdomains.

Well I don't know how your account works, but in my case I've made addresses like p://blog1.domain.com, p://blog2.domain.com with each one pointing to different directories.
I think Jessica is right though, it probably is a permissions issue.

So he could set up kb.youllallpay.com ?
