Thanks Kaf. I haven’t been able to figure this out yet though. If i create a home.php where do i place this line?

<?php query_posts(‘page_id=100’); ?>

Nevermind! Think I have it all figured out. Thanks all!

Thanks.. i think im getting somewhere. I’m not sure where to upload the binary though. should i save it as a seperate directory in my main html folder?

Thanks! It worked!

I appreciate your response.. thanks! BUT i think i need more of the instructions for dummies version. I’m not sure how to add the comment form to the page template…

Thanks a million! Now… how do I ass subscribers? In the README file it just say to add them as I see fit. But I don’t know where to add them.

When I try to add subscribers I get:

Fatal error: Cannot instantiate non-existent class: cachedfilereader in /var/www/writing/wp-includes/wp-l10n.php on line 72

I’ll give it another go. Thanks

I’m trying to use the other one…

…I had some trouble downloading Skippys.

I’m trying to use the email notification but I don’t know how to install it. Do I just open the WordPress file and download its contents into my plugins folder? OR do I add the whole folder?

oops, didnt realize i had posted under “installation.”

why five days?.. funny story actually. after i uploaded the wp files my sister happened to visit my site. she didn’t know what the “to install word press click here” meant but she followed along the instructions anyway.
i got pretty creeped out when i went to do it and it said it was already installed and the blog title was my sisters name. i didnt have a password.. she did.. and i didnt know what was going on so i uninstalled the entire thing and uploaded it again.

for some reason it didnt go as smoothly the second time, i guess my sister had a knack for it ??

I was wondering the same thing, well about email notification. I have added a number of users to my blog and we use it like a forum for a creative writing goup that we have. How can I set it up so that we all get an email notification when a new post is made?

it’s there……everything is as far as I can tell, but it still isn’t running.

Thanks Moshu… but I’m still having trouble.

My host uses a control panel and when I made my first wp blog I uploaded everything to my root folder then went to my domain https://www.ficklefish.net and a message from wp came up to click “here” to begin installation. Which I did and all went smoothly.

now.. my subdomain…

I have the files uploaded into my subdomain folder but it won’t run the install. I tried launching the wp-admin-install in a browser but I got a weird page full of code that looks like this:

__________
wp-config.php file. I need this before we can get started. Need more help? We got it. You can create a wp-config.php file through a web interface, but this doesn’t work for all server setups. The safest way is to manually create the file.”); require_once(‘../wp-config.php’); require_once(‘./upgrade-functions.php’); $guessurl = str_replace(‘/wp-admin/install.php?step=2’, ”, ‘https://&#8217; . $_SERVER[‘HTTP_HOST’] . dirname($_SERVER[‘PHP_SELF’]) ); if (isset($_GET[‘step’])) $step = $_GET[‘step’]; else $step = 0; header( ‘Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8’ ); ?>

‘) . ”); $wpdb->show_errors(); switch($step) { case 0: ?>

ReadMe documentation at your leisure.’), ‘../readme.html’); ?>

If I go to my subdomain url I don’t get the fancy click “here” message from wp, but the index file that was automatically set up by my hosts control panel when I created the subdomain which said “this site reserved for https://www.writing.ficklefish.net”. SO.. I deleted that index file to see what would happen and now I get “403 forbidden”

HELP!!!!!!

something isn’t pointing somewhere…..

any ideas?……… much appreciated!!

hmmm… maybe I sounded smarter than I am because I still can’t figure out the basics. My subdomain will be a wp blog that is a sub to another wp blog, so I’m having trouble with the not sharing any files bit.

Where should I install wordpress? Obviously it should go to a seperate folder than but I’m not sure how do to that.

…maybe this really is easy and I’ve been looking at this screen for too long ??
