 * I am new to this, so my opinion is worthless.
 * Best to go through the other posts.
 * My first install was done on the server using a numeric IP address and Unix paths
   to all the folders, but the URL is used in the new install, so something was 
   just out of sync.

 * Since I had only 2 posts, I just deleted and re-installed. All works now.
 * I think the problem was that the original install was done on the server BEFORE
   I was able to get my domain transferred to Bluehost. So I think some of the config
   files did not contain what they should have contained.
    So instead of slogging
   through all that php, I just reinstalled.
 * HINT: Stay away from Earthlink and MelbourneIT. Slow, slow, slow response to 
   requests. And Earthlink will not support the requirements of most blogging/CMS
   software.

   url to use.
