thats the problem. when i downloaded the www.ads-software.com zip file the .htaccess file wasnt in there to begin with.

i then searched around on the internet as to why my blog wouldnt show up at https://www.theowler.com and they said its because when i transferred the files from the zip to my webhost i probably didnt include the .htaccess file.

does that make sense at all?

i have no clue. but ive been researching and it said i need this .htaccess file in order to use wordpress on my webhost

well when i login it just logs in as if i logged on to just wordpress.com

when i put in the install.php i see my site, and when i go to wp-admin afterwards it just shows up with my dashboard
