thanks ben.  i've read readme file in wp, but since i don't know nuthin 
about birthin a database i thought i'd ask.  i've looked at the file 
that i'm to modify, and i'm just plain lost as to how to configure it. 
i host with 1 and 1.com.  i guess i'm to set up the database admin with 
them and when i run the install.php it will hook up and do what it's 
supposed to with my hosting service.  i'm excited and anxious at the 
same time about all this.  i am breaking new ground and entering 
territory that i thought i was years away from.  funny how life is.

i'll check out the link you gave me.  maybe this isn't as bad as i'm 
making it out to be.

cheers,
dwain
