To move or not to move

I gave up on using apt-get to install wordpress, and pulled down a copy using wget:

#wget http://wordpress.org/latest.tar.gz

#tar -xzvf latest.tar.gz

I had already created the wordpress user, so I edited the wp-config-sample.php file:

#vi wp-config-sample.php

and copied it into place:

#cp wp-config-sample.php wp-config.php

From there, it was a quick trip to my url: http://boardgamemadness.blogspot.com/wordpress/
which worked!
