 * Can you see your posts on the backend? That is, if you go to edit posts, are 
   they listed?

 * Are they published or saved as draft?
 * Also, what’s your URL 🙂 This might be a theme issue.

 * Oh. Okay. 🙂 You have to delete that front page, the index.html page, from your
   site in order to show up.
 * WordPress needs it’s index.php file to be the ONLY index page in the directory.
 * I know you installed WP in root, becuase this URL works: [http://candes.eu.com/wp-login.php](http://candes.eu.com/wp-login.php)

 * If you correctly installed WordPress, there should be an index.php file in the
   public_html folder.
 * If there is, rename index.html to index.html.old
 * See if that works.
 * If NOT, you need to re-upload the index.php file, which you can get from a download
   of WordPress from this site 🙂
