www.example.com and it's bigcommerce acitivated. I want setup wordpress into blog.example.com,
I uploaded the wordpress and install it into blog.example.com. But It didn't work out. Then I find the link How do I add a blog to my site using WordPress? . But I don't want to setup a wordpress.com's blog.
So, How can I setup a wordpress blog into a bigcommerce activated website, or is it possible?
You can definitely do this. You will need your own hosting for the subdomain. A WordPress blog cannot sit on Bigcommerce's hosting.
Set up hosting (on GoDaddy, Bluehost, or other hosting)
Install & configure WordPress
Make the necessary DNS changes to point the subdomain at your WordPress hosting
This article can walk you through it with a little more detail.

Please clarify with further detail if there is a particular part you are having trouble with as your question is somewhat light on specifics.
I work at Bigcommerce. #DeveloperScott's tips are spot-on, and it's a very straightforward process. But, if you have any questions or find yourself getting stuck at any time, feel free to reply to this thread or ask us a question on Twitter (#bigcommerce). We're here to help you out. :)

For my website I created a subdomain called static.phuketians.com as they suggested for "cookie free domains" so it will improve my website load speed. This is a Wordpress site, so it was also suggested that this subdomain should point to /wp-content.
Any idea how I can manage this on Virtualmin?
if you feel more familiar you can use redirection is a wordpress plugin
I installed a wordpress site. The visitors can only see the site without the prefix WWW. If someone types the website name with www, there is a "site not installed page". I am with OVH hosting and they are blaming the wordpress but I am sure that someone without good knowledge answered as the problem was the same even before the wp installation took place. If I change wp url location in the backend to www.mysite.com there is a backend lockout till I edit the database directly with the url without www.
My questions:
1> How to make my website accessible with both versions of the url (www+no www)? I want the www to appear in the address bar.
2> I do not want SEO rank loss due to duplicate content.
Please help as the customer care sucks and for 2 weeks they cant solve this problem. I am sure someone out here can please provide a few steps which I can follow and implement what I want. Thanks a lot in advance.
You may want to check with your hosting provider. I think technically, they are different URLs. Your host should be able to link both I would imagine.
I have an existing site that is hosted on a LAMP VPS. I also have a blog that is hosted on Wordpress.com/blahblahblah. The goal is to have all of the traffic that goes to the blog at least go through the site to help with counting stats, SEO, and whatnot. My complete lack of familiarity with Wordpress leads me to believe that the easiest way to accomplish this would be to create a Wordpress instance on the VPS and host the blog there. I guess I'm asking two questions. First, what are the pitfalls of hosting a WP blog on a LAMP VPS? And second, is there an easier way to have that traffic pass through the existing site without pointless redirects?
Wordpress will work fine on a LAMP VPS.
Traffic should not pass through another domain, because as you said that is a pointless redirect. I am not sure why you would not want to use one of the many analytics available such as Google analytics.
If you needed to you can setup the other domain and add an index.php file with a header('Location: wordpressite.com'); and whatever other code you want.
Another, cleaner, option is to edit the Wordpress site itself to send the information required to the other site by using a plugin or perhaps some javascript code. This is typically what third party analytics plugins do.
I have a wordpress blog hosted on the wordpress.org. i need to customize it. but not getting anything to work. I am not able to install any plugin or widget in it. please help..
Thanks...
wordpress.org does not provide hosting. Wordpress.com do. If you've hosted it on wordpress.com then you must pay them to enable theme customization features, otherwise you can't
Or if you've made a self hosted wordpress by downloading it from wp.org, then its all in your hands... to edit the theme, go to Dashboard > Themes > Edit
I don't want my whole site to be run on wordpress. Only the blog portion, perhaps. Is there a quick and painless way to do that?
Yes.
Install WordPress into a
subdirectory of your web site.
http://example.com/blog
Install
WordPress onto a subdomain of your
main domain.
http://blog.example.com
Yes of course... the Wordpress documentation is a good place to start!
