Reinstalled and all is as it should be. Thanks everyone.
Thank you so much. Believe me, it’s NOT there. I expected a much easier time of installation than this. It’s been pretty, um, un-smooth. Almost sent me packing to Blogger.
I used the ipowerweb 1-click installation of WordPress, by the way. Maybe this is a cheap-o version?
I believe it’s 2.0.1 or 2.0.2. Not exactly the latest and greatest, but 2+.
It’s hosted by ipowerweb but I downloaded the software from ipowerweb. I didn’t know there was a diff between .COM and .ORG. No wonder I’m so confused! I guess I’ll download from here, if I can find exactly where to go. As a rule of thumb, should I stay away from WordPress.Com??
Thanks.
