 * I appear to be stumbling before getting off the starting blocks!
    I believe I
   have followed the instructions at:
 * [http://codex.wordpress.org/cPanel_X](http://codex.wordpress.org/cPanel_X)
 * up to the point where I am asked to “Add Db”.
    After adding a user name and password
   I don’t seem to have the option to “Add Db” as you should be able to see on this
   screen shot:

 * Any suggestions would be greatly received.

 * On the new versions of cPanel, look for the “Add User to Database” towards the
   bottom of the MySQL screens, then select the User: and Database: from the two
   pulldown boxes then click on Add, then on the next screen check the All Privileges
   box and click on Submit (or Make Changes).

 * I am totally confused. I downloaded WordPress and got a number of folders and
   I have not idea what to do with them. I have a web host, HostICan, but beyond
   those two steps I don’t know what to do to install WordPress. Any help will be
   greatly appreciated and meekly accepted.

 * The docs are always a good place to start. Specifically here.
