got my host to install it. now what?>

is there a script to embed it into one of the pages or am i missing something?

 

ok so i figured out how to log in. how would i embred the blog into my site? or do i have to edit the blog to look like the site?

 

The way the install works is that you choose a folder in which you wish to install the blog, that folder is typically how you access the blog. I can't say for certain because I don't know how your host installed the blog.

For example, if they installed the blog in a folder called "blog" at the root level of your site, the path would be "www.yourdomain.com/blog" in order to access the blog.

Have you poked around the admin area to see what the path is to your blog? It's set in there.

 

thanks for the help sly. i finally got it working. and formatting it to kind of look lke the rest of the site was a B.I.T.C.H

 

Welcome!

 

Yeah, when one of my customers wants WP installed in their site, I typically will just download and install a sandbox theme (completely stripped) and then use the site's CSS to implement the style.

Example:

Site theme (yes, I completely coded from the designer's files):

http://www.constructivecommunication.com/

Implemented WP theme:

http://www.constructivecommunication.com/news/

Yes, it is a BITCH.

 

lookin good. im still gettin the feel for it.

heres my site.

If there is one thing I would HIGHLY suggest, is look into changing the administrator username AND password.

I believe the default username for the Administrator is "admin", which every hacker knows to try first, then try a variety of methods to hack into the site.

Changing the username for the Administrator is a little bit more involved and requires direct database access. If you aren't familiar with this, or don't want to mess with it, contact your host.

were you able to access my admin panel? because my username isn't the default one

 

I'm able to get to the page that asks you to login to your blog.

Just be sure that any account on your blog that is set as an "admin" isn't the default username "admin".

I don't know how your host set up your blog. For all you know they may have set it up so that there is an "admin" account, and another account that you login with that has admin privileges. Just ensure that there is not default account with the name "admin".
