Norm, thank you for your post. I got lost on the 4th or 5th step in your other post you made & went onto Keyalea’s steps. Also got lost about half way through. But I realized this was with the previous setup I had. So I uninstalled MAMP & WordPress, got a fresh download of MAMP & WordPress. Followed these steps https://sawmac.com/mamp/. Then followed Keyalea’s steps & sure enough, I got it!

Thank you all so much for all the help. I don’t feel like a complete dumbass anymore. I still don’t like the 5 minute install slogan they have. I wish they would just provide these steps & have their slogan be “5 Minute install (with step by step guide)” Because it gives you that expectation that anybody can do it with little to no knowledge & that doesn’t seem to be true at all.

(Stepping off my soapbox) Either way, I am so happy to now be able to get my feet wet with WordPress & actually give it a try. Thank you all again! Your great!

Thank you everyone for responding. I had to take a few weeks break from this because it was such a difficult learning curve for me. I have confidence in myself to learn these new things & I want to learn WordPress but when you follow the steps & it still doesnt work, its frustrating. I am using iWeb & I am getting pretty good results, but the amount of plugins available for WordPress I want to be able to use all its great features.

Thank you again for the help. I am going to attempt again over the next hour. I will let you all know where I am when I get done, or if I have hit a brick wall again. lol.
