Hi Could someone post the basic Wordpress Install Steps?

I have domains registered at GoDaddy but would like install 2 instances of Wordpress at another hosting and have the domain names find that.

The main thing I get confused about is how to have multiple Wordpress Instances on the same host, and have the domain names pointing correctly, they seem to all want to point to the master domain or something

I want this: abcdomain.com = first wordpress blog
xyzdomain.com = 2nd Wordpress Blog

And I don't want any abcdomain.com/wordpress having to be typed in etc.

If anyone has the steps that's great, I'll also look on Wordpress site to try to figure out also.

Thanks!
Damian

First thing is to set up the domain correctly, if you buy your domains somewhere else then you need to update your nameservers to point to GoDaddy's info.
