In reply to: password/host/? issueYour config file should have the database name (if you are using a Cpanel enabled site, remember the user name is something like siteusername_databasename), database user (same deal, siteusername_dbusername), and the database password, not md5 hash).
Make sure you uploaded the files to correct directory (public html?) not www).
Did the domain name change?

In reply to: Topics on frontpageI usually just create a home.php file, and then do the query posts on that template.

In reply to: Display comments of a post on other postsNot being a mysql expert myself, I don’t have a specific solution, but I *think* you should be able to do a query to the database using the specific post ID for which you want the comments from and pull those into the other posts. Might get you in the right direction.

In reply to: Edit sidebar in 2.xCorrect, the theme editor is purely for the files in the active theme. The admin one shouldn’t be edited unless you are familiar with such, and have a reason to edit the back end (Dashboard).

In reply to: Changing upload ? Possible???????I don’t think you can upload via WordPress to another domain, you can change the directory via the dashboard under Options Misc.

In reply to: Mirror Content to 2nd web pageEasiest option would be to pull the RSS feed from the blog to the other site. Depending on the architecture of the second site you may have several options for doing this.

In reply to: adding links to other sites in header, basic php?Possibly in header.php, there’s a div, menu. It should look something like
<ul>
<li><a href="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>">Home</a></li>
<?php wp_list_pages('title_li='); ?>
</ul>Which basically is creating an unordered list of your Pages, with an additional link for the home. Below the wp_list_pages tag, you can add additional list items with hard coded links, ie,
<li><a href="http://bloggerlink1.com">Link 1</a></li>
<li><a href="http://bloggerlink2.com">Link 2</a></li>Bear in mind, since the Pages links are created dynamically, you won’t be able to mix the links, unless you were to manually create the wordpress links like the example I used.
Since you mentioned iWeb, I guess you are on a Mac. I suggest using the open source free-ware apps CyberDuck for FTP and Smultron for text editing. Once you get more familiar, there are more powerful apps for this, but these are very good free options for starting out (I still use Smultron myself).
Feel free to post back with more questions.
