 * Thanks guys! I sincerely appreciate you taking the time to respond to my request.
   I ended up enlisting the help of another WordPress user, who worked diligently
   to restore my site. I learned one very important thing…don’t mess with stuff 
   if you don’t know what you are doing!
    Peace Cathy

 * <<(WordPress isn’t near as easy as FrontPage!)<<
 * Ha!
 * That gave me a giggle <<
 * At least it has a simple drag and drop navigation tree to set up my site navigation!
   Very easy for someone who doesn’t know HTML or CSS. 🙂
 * Thanks so much for your help, friends!. I found my wp-config.php file! It was
   actually in the fbcnew directory after all. 🙂 Following is what it contains (
   nothing before <? or after ?>):
 * <?php
    // ** MySQL settings ** // define(‘DB_NAME’, ‘fbcmcd_fbcmcd’); // The 
   name of the database define(‘DB_USER’, ‘fbcmcd_user’); // Your MySQL username
   define(‘DB_PASSWORD’, ‘++++++++’); // …and password define(‘DB_HOST’, ‘localhost’);//
   99% chance you won’t need to change this value
 * // You can have multiple installations in one database if you give each a unique
   prefix
    $table_prefix = ‘wp_’; // Only numbers, letters, and underscores please!
 * // Change this to localize WordPress. A corresponding MO file for the
    // chosen
   language must be installed to wp-includes/languages. // For example, install 
   de.mo to wp-includes/languages and set WPLANG to ‘de’ // to enable German language
   support. define (‘WPLANG’, ”);
 * /* That’s all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */
 * define(‘ABSPATH’, dirname(__FILE__).’/’);
    require_once(ABSPATH.’wp-settings.
   php’); ?>

 * By “root” folder, I’m guessing you mean the one (on my system) called “fbcnew”,
   under public_html? (Since I don’t have a folder called “root” 🙂 )
 * At any rate, I can’t find a file called “wp-config”. Can you possibly be more
   specific as to where to look? I apologize for asking questions that must seem
   extremely simple for you, but I took over the maintenance of the already-created-
   and-in-place website, and am still not sure how it all works. (WordPress isn’t
   near as easy as FrontPage!)

 * And where is the “wp-config” file?
