Support » Installing WordPress » Completely Befuddled

  • I mean I am lost here. So here is the scenario; I have a website, built it in Dreamweaver and used the design tools, I know very little code.

    Decided I wanted to use a nice WP template which would display my artwork nicely and conform to portable devices…

    OK so I start on this new course of operations, my control panel has a quick wordpress install and that is easy, so I install it. I see a dashboard, just like I am supposed to, BUT BUT I haven’t taken my other site off the server, and I don’t yet have the new template purchased or loaded with text and images. HOW DO I DO THIS NOW?? And what does the public see? It looks like my regular site is still up and running, thank the gods, but how do I upload the new site when I have it just so??

    Okay that didn’t come out right, I will try again.

    root>
    public_html>
    .htaccess
    wordpress>
    wp-admin, wp-content, wp-includes, all the other wp files, index.php

    AND in the wp-admin directory there is also a index.php

    Is this incorrect?

    Yes – that all sounds correct.

    Well that is one good thing!

    I am trying to contact support on my host for the error message I still get, so far no luck.

    Basically I am stuck, I cannot actually SEE the wordpress site. I can see my old site (thank the web gods!). And I have hopes of buying a wp template, but until I can get some skills I can see this will elude me.
