 * Thanks for the comeback.
    I FTP’d all the WordPress files to the remote server
   I used Firefox to run the ‘wp-install.php’ file by pathing to it in the Browser.
   My install was acknowledged by WordPress but when I call up the login, still 
   using Firefox, all the links reference my local machine.
 * I am wondering if I should have logged into the remote Shell and run the install
   file from there.
 * Also wondering if there is something in the code I could modify to make it reference
   the remote Host instead of my local machine.
 * Sonia Brock
