Hi,
I just purchased a second domain name for a new wordpress blog I want to create.
What process would I go through to set it up, since I already have wordpress installed and use it to edit my current website??
Thanks, sorry for the noob question!!

usually the same steps as always:
create a new FTP account for your new domain
upload files
create a new database
install scriptor
go to Fantastico (if your CPanel have it) and install with one click.
apt-get

aqaz69, a lot depends on whether your hosting account allows more than one domain. (If you have WHM, it probably does.) If it doesn't, you may have to buy another hosting account.
Then, as Scorillo said, you want to create a separate database.
Or, if you only have one database (this is true on some inexpensive hosting accounts), you can give your new wordpress install a unique prefix. That way the two wordpress installations can share a database without stepping on each other. Just look for the following line to change in wp-config:
// You can have multiple installations in one database if you give each a unique prefix
$table_prefix = 'wp_';
