 * Norm, thank you for your post. I got lost on the 4th or 5th step in your other
   post you made & went onto Keyalea’s steps. Also got lost about half way through.
   But I realized this was with the previous setup I had. So I uninstalled MAMP &
   WordPress, got a fresh download of MAMP & WordPress. Followed these steps [http://sawmac.com/mamp/](http://sawmac.com/mamp/).
   Then followed Keyalea’s steps & sure enough, I got it!
 * Thank you all so much for all the help. I don’t feel like a complete dumbass 
   anymore. I still don’t like the 5 minute install slogan they have. I wish they
   would just provide these steps & have their slogan be “5 Minute install (with
   step by step guide)” Because it gives you that expectation that anybody can do
   it with little to no knowledge & that doesn’t seem to be true at all.
 * (Stepping off my soapbox) Either way, I am so happy to now be able to get my 
   feet wet with WordPress & actually give it a try. Thank you all again! Your great!

 * Thank you everyone for responding. I had to take a few weeks break from this 
   because it was such a difficult learning curve for me. I have confidence in myself
   to learn these new things & I want to learn WordPress but when you follow the
   steps & it still doesnt work, its frustrating. I am using iWeb & I am getting
   pretty good results, but the amount of plugins available for WordPress I want
   to be able to use all its great features.
 * Thank you again for the help. I am going to attempt again over the next hour.
   I will let you all know where I am when I get done, or if I have hit a brick 
   wall again. lol.
