This is a bluehost question posted by JW111 on 30 July 2008

I have an established Wordpress site hosted by Bluehost. I have registered several new domain names and directed the nameservers to Bluehost under my original Bluehost account. Now, I need to add Wordpress to them and start adding content.
My question is how do I add Wordpress to my new addon domains? When I first add the addon domain, what directory do I choose, i.e., use an existing directory (if so, which one) or create a new directory? I’ve tried it both ways, unsuccessfully.
To add Wordpress to my new addon domains, do I need to install it by using Fantastico the way I did with my original site? Is there some other way to add Wordpress to the new addon domains? If I have to install it via Fantastico, do I then need to manually update to the latest version of Wordpress and FTP upload all of my themes and plug-ins? I’d much rather use the Wordpress I already have with the latest version, my themes, my plug-ins, etc. without having to recreate everything from scratch for each new addon.
Sorry if this is a dumb question. I’m not dumb. I just don’t have any experience with this and have searched and tried the BH knowledge base.
Thanks in advance for your help.
