 * Total newb here.
 * I recently installed 3.9.1, but I’m told it’d a blog … want a website (not a 
   blog). I can’t seem to get to my Cpanel.
 * I tried to upgrade to 3.9.2, but I can’t figure that out either. My browser doesn’t
   open the core.php file. Then I thought, I’d uninstall 3.9.1 and install 3.9.2
   from scratch, but because I can’t find the cpanel … well, you know.
 * Can someone turn me around and point me in the right direction.
    Thanks.

 * Managed to find the dashboard/admin panel (it’s now bookmarked). Baby steps.

 * Do you have a specific question? You found the dashboard. That’s a good start.
   If you’re just newly starting a blog/website, you probably don’t need Cpanel,
   yet. That’s for access to your host not your WordPress installation where you
   would create your blog/website. There’s no technical difference between using
   WordPress for a blog or using it for a website. It’s just a difference in how
   you’d organize and display your content.

 * Cpanel come from your hosting provider, you can ask them the password and login
   if you want to start using wordpress TLD

 * I think I’m using the wrong syntax. I’m in the dashboard trying to find the option
   to upgrade to 3.9.2. I don’t even see where it shows what version I’m using (
   although I know it’s 3.9.1).
 * … am trying to learn how to use wordpress … so … just using wordpress as host
   for what I’m creating, for now.
