Jeff, as I look for WordPress help around the net it appears many use WordPress.com to manage their themes. What WP content mangement system do your guys use and why?
Jeff Johnson: wordpress self hosted (wordpress.org).
We use it because it allows us to use any theme we’d like, install any plugin we’d like, and customize any way we see fit, not to mention control our own domain.

All installed perfectly and with ease. Thanks for the clear and simple steps! I notice the plug in is registered as installed too. Exciting! This is the furthest I’ve ever got with ‘Do it yourself’ web marketing. Seems I won’t stay a newbie forever. Where to from here – Your training Lab?

Jeff Johnson: You need a hosting account to host your blog before you install the plugin.
the blog software and the plugin are free.
We have the complete step by step stuff like this in the club but can’t print all of it on the blog.

Hi,
I installed with hostgators fantastico and I get to step 7 and there is no log in to word press??
I have no idea how to get to the dashboard.
Yourdomain.com/wp-admin/ will take you there.
Diansyll says
Hi,
I also got the same problem with Lisa. I made a subdomain, and install wordpress through fantastico de luxe. I have completed the installation but I cannot log in to wordpress.
The appearance of http://www.subdomain.domain.com/wp-admin/ is the same with http://www.subdomain.domain.com.
I cannot find wordpress log in there. Anyone can help me?
