   Hello,
   I have just downloaded this issue to my pair.com server.
   Because I would like to "transform" my regular HTML portfolio thierrydehove.com with this amazing tool... However I have to know if I am doing right:

   1 - created my own blog, installed wordpress to my server, set up "wp-config-sample.php"... this part gave me trouble... I am missing something, please let me know:

   /** The name of the database for WordPress */
   define('DB_NAME', 'thierrydehove.wordpress.com');

   /** MySQL database username */
   define('DB_USER', 'thierrydehove');

   /** MySQL database password */
   define('DB_PASSWORD', 'mypassword');

   /** MySQL hostname */
   define('DB_HOST', 'dbnnnx.pair.com');

   2 - download one the template to my thierrydehove.com folder and updated this one

   Please let me know and Thanks a lot for your time
   Thierry Dehove

   Your blog link, above, is to wordpress.com. WordPress.com is where folks go for free hosting and wouldn't have anything to do with your existing host at pair.com. You won't want to use that in your own blog's wp-config.php file.

   Hi Chris
   Thanks for your time...

   so what is the name I have to put in this field instead thierrydehove.wordpress.com ?

   right now my wordpress template is located to http://thierrydehove.com/wordpress/ to do some test and it will be thierrydehove.com... right now I have this message: "Error establishing a database connection"

   Please let me know and thanks a lot for your time
