 * I am trying to learn WordPress. When I goto my site [http://www.mysite.com/wordpress](http://www.mysite.com/wordpress)
   it asks me for a user name and password…so I login.
    The screen is set up with
   3 sections with [http://www.mysite.com](http://www.mysite.com) at the top, on
   the left it says “select database” in the middle is a table. When I logon to 
   [http://www.mysite.com/wordpress/wp-login.php](http://www.mysite.com/wordpress/wp-login.php)
   it shows the blog that I set up called “kate” and I uploaded a theme and that
   is selected…but when I click on “view site” it looks nothing like the theme…it
   takes me to [http://www.mysite.com/wordpress](http://www.mysite.com/wordpress).
   What am I not understanding? I have yahoo as a host with database privlidges,
   I used FTP to upload the wp files….Thanks for helping me!

 * At your /wordpress location, do you see the words phpMyAdmin? Your description
   seems to indicate that you’ve perhaps installed multiple applications in the 
   same directory.
 * phpMyAdmin (a MySQL administration tool) should usually be installed in it’s 
   own directory. The /wordpress directory should only contain files from the WordPress
   zip file.
