This is freaking HARD!
I registered a domain name and got myself a host today, but getting further than that is leaving me stumped, which I’m finding very confusing because I’m usually a fairly computer literate person, anything I don’t know I can figure out. But I’m trying to install WordPress and mySQL is just baffling me, because I think the version my host uses is different to the one that wordpress uses explains installation.

I’d usually bang away at this until I figure it out, but my brain is exploding, so I’m going for the soft option and gettting the free WordPress install option from their help team. Which I know is a kind of risky option because it allows a third party access to my coding, but I’m kind of stuck. Ah, I thought the hardest part would be learning html. Html is a freaking walk in the park. MySQL be damned!

EDIT

Alright, was saved at the last moment. Luckily the customer support from my host was fast, and helped me figure a few things out. Only still stuck on how to point the folder to root. Found the pointing application, but it doesn’t seem to let me do it. Let’s hope customer service comes to the rescue again. I bet they get so sick of amateur webmasters. But I’m paying for the service, I guess…
