 * Additional question:
    Also, with regards to the php.ini file, if during my initial
   WordPress install, it changed anything to this file, how do I go about setting
   it to its default state, or is that even necessary?
 * Thanks.

 * OK, one last question (I hope) say I do the manual install, am I then able to
   run the hosting server’s auto installer for future wordpress upgrades, or will
   that process always have to be manual, because I installed it manually? Or, does
   WordPress have its own built in updater?
 * Ugh, I know, so many questions, but thank you nonetheless for the time you’ve
   taken to respond. I really appreciate it!

 * samboll: Thank you for the reply. In response to your statement, “A good reason
   for self install is that you will be uploading themes and plugins through ftp
   or wordpress back end and maybe modifying theme files, etc. It just makes you
   more familiar with the software.” Are you stating that if I do an auto install,
   I will not be able to upload themes and plugins through ftp or wordpress back
   end, etc.? Or, I will be able to still do that either way, but that one way yields
   a better understanding of the software, as you stated?
 * Thanks again.
