 * I seem to have messed up my blog badly.
    How can I start over from the beginning?
   If I remove all the files and download them again and start over I just keep 
   getting my old blogg back? How can I reset and upload a fresh design?
 * I use a ftp client

 * 3 choices
 * 1) Login to phpmyadmin and drop all of the tables in the database and install
   wordpress
 * 2) Login to host control panel’s mysql section and delete database entirely and
   re-install another db with same details then install wordpress
 * 3)
    Change the `$table_prefix` in `wp-config.php` from the default `wp_` to something
   like `wpblog_` then install wordpress
