 * Here is the part I don’t understand:
 * create a new table in your wordpress database with the following SQL code
 * Can someone explain how I do this? I feel really dumb right now.

 * Use phpMyAdmin, go to the `SQL` tab, and paste the `CREATE TABLE` bit into the
   text area.

 * phpmyadmin is somewhat dangerous though… from a shell on the box run mysql -uroot-
   p once in your in just type
 * CREATE DATABASE [databasename];
 * Thats all you’ll most likely ever need to do w sql to get your site running
