 * I am redesigning my site and want to create a second website so I can work on
   the site without changing the live version. I watched the video and I get lost
   when it talks about a data base management tool? What is that? And do I real 
   need to use one?
 * Thanks!

 * Ok. I found out how to get the migration done. I thought phpMyAdmin in the video
   was another plugin or software feature I needed to get, but Bluehost already 
   uses it. So now I did the migration step-by-step THREE TIMES as the video shows,
   but it never worked. I am not sure why.
 * The files show up in the right folder on the phpMyAdmin, but don’t create a website.
   When I look at the site address all that is there is a basic WordPress site as
   if I just uploaded WordPress to my domain. I called Bluehost and they said, yes,
   the files are there, but they are not sure why they are not showing up. There
   must be something wrong in the creation of the file.
 * Anybody out there have an idea?
 * Thanks,
 * Pat

 * Now I tried to create a whole new subdomain and start from scratch. Still doesn’t
   work.
