Invision Power Board Install Guide: Welcome

Welcome to Invision Community Blog, a Blog plug-in module for the award winning Invision Power Board.

This guide will help you through the installation process and get you on your way to setting up your own Invision Community Blog.
Installation is very straight forward, only taking a couple of minutes from from uploading the files to logging into your board again.

You will need an FTP (File Transfer Protocol) client, if you do not have one you can download Smart FTP for Windows or InterArchy for Macintosh. At the time of writing both websites have freeware or free trial versions available for download.
You do not need an indepth knowledge of PHP programming to install Invision Community Blog, but a working knowledge of FTP functions is a plus.

This guide assumes that you have allready successfully installed Invision Power Board and unzipped all files from the Invision Community Blog module to your local disk and ready to go.

If you don't know your FTP from your PHP and your CHMOD from your CHOWN, then you might wish to consider our Installation Service. For a low cost, once only fee - one of our installation professionals will install and set up your board for you. For more information, please visit our advanced services page.
