 * Hi, I don’t really have a site/blog yet, but I’ve been playing around with my
   potential blog foreverstocks.com/wordpress. I was trying to switch the URL on
   my own to just foreverstocks.com. And now my wordpress admin is “site not found.”
 * My question is, can I start all over by reinstalling wordpress and then my new
   URL would be foreverstocks.com? Any step toward the road to recovery would be
   helpful.
 * Thank you,
 * Vaughan

 * What you have done so far is basically the first step of these instructions 🙂
 * Just carry on to have `foreverstocks.com` as your blog.

 * Is there a way to accomplish any of this without even being able to log in?
 * For example, how do I upload a text edit without having any access?

 * Steps 1, 2 and 3 you have done from within the WP Dashboard while logged in.
 * Steps 4 and 5 are accomplished either from your hosting control panel’s file 
   manager or via an FTP program such as FileZilla that connects to your hosting
   account file system.
 * Steps 6 and 7 are again done from the WP Dashboard.
