 * Help! OK I’m new to WordPress. I’m not a coder, just tech savvy enough to get
   in trouble. I had successfully set up a wordpress site on my server for a friend.
   My plan was to migrate it to my friend’s server when it was done. Obviously my
   novice status has resulted in getting things messed up.
 * I realized after getting WP running on the new server that what I also needed
   to do was export/import my data from the database on my server to the new one.
   I’ve been trying to just get back to ‘zero’ on my server but I no longer see 
   my WP design… just what seems to be generic html. Not the default design… no 
   design at all.
 * Do I need to reinstall WP? I assume my database still OK? If I reinstall will
   I be able to get the data in the database back?
 * Thanks in advance,
    Sharon

 * There is a an FAQ in the codex about moving URLs, and another on restoring a 
   database.
