   maybe the dumbest question ever but in the lessons section, the very first thing it says to do is log into the administration panel. Um, where the heck is this login page located?

   you may add the "meta" widget to your sidebar to access the admin panel from your home page.

   In case you didn't know this, yourdomain means you type in the name of your domain. You don't literally type in "yourdomain". Probably obvious, but in case you are a complete newbie, there's a chance you might not know something like this.

   I figured it out. I had been putting .com/wp-login.php
   What I needed to put was .com/wordpress/wp-login.php
   Thanks again for the help!
