How to Install a Blog for a Yahoo! Store
When you purchase a Yahoo! Merchant account you are given a Yahoo! Store and Web Hosting account. Your Web Hosting account allows you to customize your store with a variety of third-party tools, such as WordPress, that are not accessible through the Yahoo! Store Editor. Because WordPress is Yahoo!'s default blog tool, it can be installed for your Yahoo! Store directly from your Web Hosting Control Panel.
