 * what are the settings that need to be in the wp-config.php file if using bluehost?
   specifically the db_host field.
    thanks.
 * <?php
    // ** MySQL settings ** // define(‘DB_NAME’, ‘information_schema’); //
   The name of the database define(‘DB_USER’, ‘_???????_‘); // Your MySQL username
   define(‘DB_PASSWORD’, ‘_ got this’); // …and password define(‘DB\_HOST’, ‘????????’);//
   99% chance you won’t need to change this value
 * // You can have multiple installations in one database if you give each a unique
   prefix
    $table_prefix = ‘wp1’; // Only numbers, letters, and underscores please!

 * DB_HOST will be localhost.
    DB_NAME will be something like youraccountname_xxxxx
   DB_USER will be something like youraccountname_xxxxxxxx

 * i got the DB_HOST right
    what would the “xxxxxx” signify for DB_NAME and DB_USER?

 * The database name and the username you’ve created. You need to log into your 
   control panel and look for the area where you can create a database. Then create
   one. Then you need to create a username and password to associate with the database.
   so the “xxxxx” would signify whatever name *you* gave to the database and user
   for that database (and the password – because you create that, too)
