 * I’m an idiot and I have no idea what I’m doing. I tried to change my URL under
   general settings and now I’m totally locked out and panicking. What do I do? 
   I can’t log in at all.

 * Did you read the page? You WILL need to have FTP or another way of accessing 
   your site. If you don’t have that set up (FTP is the easiest way IMO), you can
   get the info from your hosting company).

 * I’m sorry. I’m very new at this and I don’t quite understand. What is a hosting
   company? I used MAMP and my url just said “Localhost 8888) before I tried to 
   change it. Now I can’t access anything…
