I love how you explain things and then do them. So we kind of get things twice! I have one question, though before I install WordPress and I'm hoping this is not a "stupid" question. When I upload the files using an ftp, will the files already associated with my website disappear? In other words, will my website's content be lost or will I have a url associated with wordpress (domainname.wordpress.com)?? Any help is appreciated! Thanks! This is a great tutorial.

Noticed that the File, Save As... vocal instruction stated to erase "-config" from the filename instead of "-sample" when saving the edited config file for use, as was demonstrated in the visual.

My site was originally set up by a student techie who is no longer available because the semester is over. I learned as much as I can while he was here but not about upgrading to, say, 2.5.1. I'm on a Mac and the site is hosted - at the student's suggestion - by planet argon. What about us folks who use Macs and are struggling to learn?

Thanks so much for the time and effort put into this tutorial. I do have a question: is it necessary for your web hosting provider to be using cPanel, or are the most recent versions of PHP and MySQL good enough? Hi, Teli.
