 * Well, here is a question. I have downloaded the WP zip, unzipped it to an empty
   directory, but I don’t know what it means when it says put in your database connection
   details or whatever its called. Can someone help me install WP?

 * You need to set up a database (mysql) in your hosting account. You use that info(
   user, password, etc.)

 * I don’t think it’s that bad. My hosting is $10 a month and I’ll never use all
   the MySql I have available.
