    I have just installed wordpress from cpanelX and it seemed to install correctly. To install it I was instructed to delete the index from my host file manager which I did. Now I can change the theme, write a post etc etc but nothing is changing my original home page. I know this is pretty basic but I am a novice. Help!

    I know this is v basic and I appreciate your patience in helping me. I have never done this before and don’t know what you mean by uploading index.php file to /public_html/ ???

    See the red download button in the upper right hand corner of the page? Download it, unzip it, and then upload the index.php to the same place you deleted the index.html :o)

    Sorry — in the same area where you deleted the index.html, there should be an option to upload. Click that and then you should be able to choose the index.php from your hard drive.

    another question now, how do I change the font of the titles? I know I can add it to the html code but am not sure where in the code to insert it?

    You’ll have to use the “Editor” under the “Appearance” section of the admin panel to edit the “Stylesheet”. Once there, you’re looking for the line that starts with #blogcontent .title

    See this tutorial for working with fonts in CSS and this tutorial for formatting text with CSS.
