The only problem is 'blog' is only slightly more useful than 'wordpress' - The number of sites that use WP for something other than a blog is on the rise. Perhaps it would be better to make it clear that the folder name is mutable.
I agree that 'blog' isn't that helpful but, if we want a generic example in there (and that would probably be a Good Idea), we're always going to be stuck with something that doesn't suit 90% of sites.
(Also I'd keep in subdirectories, as if you switch to MultiSite, the install is either subdirectory or subdomain, not 'subfolder' and it would carry through logically as the users grow in skill level. Of course to say 'subdirectory (i.e. a folder)' is not inappropriate!)
Good point. So perhaps use 'subdirectory (a folder within the main directory)' when referring to the server?
FWIW, I think this is (bizarrely) the most important change:
5. Get ready to upload the WordPress files to your web server:
The current page says "Upload the WordPress files...' and I think people stop reading Step 5 at that point. So the whole 'choosing the right folder name or install in root' gets missed, when what we really want is for people to stop and think for a moment before they upload.
