 * I downloaded wordpress this evening and was unable to find a walkthrough on the
   setup. It asked me if I wanted to change the location address for the blog and
   I did but now I cannot log on to the admin panel for it. I also cannot find the
   blog…. how do you set everything up? Is there a tutorial that I missed somewhere?

 * _It asked me if I wanted to change the location address for the blog _
 * Not true. WP never does that. What happens: users never click the link there 
   to read the instructions…
 * On the other hand I agree: it is a stupid thing that the developers left there
   that option without warning those that are lazy to read.
 * Don’t ever touch those URI values if you don’t know what are you doing!
 * Here is the [fix](http://www.tamba2.org.uk/wordpress/site-url/).
