 * Sadly that brings up the same blank screen as just going to /wp-admin/
 * To be honest I really think I’m just going to delete it all and start again. (
   For the third time. lol.) But eh… I’ll have the installation procedure down to
   a fine art.
 * Thanks for the suggestion though hallsofmontezuma.
