Never mind – I solved it. I had to change the permissions on my wp-content directory in order for it to be able to create the “Gallery” directory.

No, none of the widgets show up. I think it’s an issue with the Twenty Eleven theme. However I followed the instructions I received for showing the calendar in the body of the page using a php tag on a template page, and that works great! That’s what I really wanted in the first place, but I didn’t think the calendar could be displayed other than in a widgetized area. Thanks!

Thanks Tara. 777 worked.

My web host helped me out with this. They said that by default PHP shows an empty white screen when there is a PHP error. It is a security feature. If you can view the error log on your server, you might be able to decipher the message it gives you. In my case, it was the fact that not all the files had uploaded to the web host properly. I re-uploaded everything, and then the installation completed….I think, anyway. Because now I’m having a different problem – with uploading media.
