 * I don’t really ‘get’ databases; I don’t understand them. Nevertheless I just 
   created a database as wp says you must have one [?]
 * 1. I can’t find it on my server [am using cpanel]. Should I be able to?
 * 2. Do I move my wp files to this database once I’ve found it?

   This might help if you are using cpanel. If not, post back and we’ll take it 
   from there.
