 * Before I ask…
 * I’m starting to think blogger would have been a lot easier for me to use. I’m
   new to making a website, a blog, using “code”, and everything related to the 
   aforementioned. WordPress looks great and I am amazed with what other people 
   have done with it. However, I don’t want to “outgrow” blogger and have to “upgrade”
   to wordpress down the road. I am committed to learning how to utilize this wonderful
   free software from the get-go so my blog/website will someday be as great as 
   the many others I have seen.
 * This could be only the second of many stupid questions that I might ask. I’ll
   keep coming back and trying to learn.
 * Onto the question…
 * I installed wordpress through bluehost.com and apparently it installs version
   2.3.2.
 * I went to install a plug in, but there is no wp-content folder on my hosting 
   side of my ftp transfer.
 * I unzipped a copy of wordpress in explorer and transfered the wp-content folder
   containing themes, plug ins, and index.php from my hard drive to my hosting site.
 * Next I tried to transfer ftp redirectify.php from my harddrive to my hosting 
   site but it doesn’t show up on my dashboard in plug in management. What’s the
   problem?

 * This is a problem I just encountered. I’m not a coder professionally but I know
   enough to realize something funky is going down.
 * Try logging in through your the company you host with (example: Godaddy has a
   java web app. that you can use as a ftp client)
 * From there I see the wp-content folder. Yet I cannot open it.
 * I’ll post more when I find an answer.

 * This post is a bit old, but I’ll comment anyway. If you installed wordpress with
   Bluehost, you probably used the Fantastico installer, which can have its own 
   issues at times. While Bluehost does still offer Fantastico, it now offers a 
   program called Simple Scripts which installs wordpress with everything you need.
   The newer versions of WordPress work splendidly with Simple Scripts and you won’t
   have to worry about any of the problems mentioned above.
