    Thank you for the tips. I think I’m on my way. I did find some photography 3rd party themes that I like.

    Thank you so much for the help.

    Yes, exactly. I want to use WordPress as a website. And yes Static Hompage. Eventually I want a gallery of images to click on.

    So I think you answered my question.

    However the guys at FatCow, my host, told me that i needed to put wordpress into one of my site folders, not into the root directory until I was ready to publish it. Does that should ok to you? They had a one button install for WordPress and then they helped me figure out where to install it exactly.

    So if you check geoarts.net/wordpress/

    I do not get the default blog site that shows in the Codex “First Steps with WordPress”.

    It says that you should get the blue blog by default and then “begin by logging into admin panel.”

    When i log into admin panel i’m getting “wordpress.blog” dashboard but no settings to turn that into a website. I don’t want the blog and want to start a site.

    My plan is to eventually use this new site as an up date of my current site: geoarts.net, which I did with iPhoto. I need a much more comprehensive photography site and I’ve found some great templates in WordPress. Whatever help you can give me would be appreciated. THanks so much.

    FatCow, my host, put a folder inside my current site, geoarts.net.
    So i guess it’s geoarts.net/wordpress/

    When i do that i get a blog from wordpress. I see off the rt. side is “Meta” and then under that “login”. When i do my login I finally get my Dashboard!!!! yes, i think this is it? can you tell me if this is it?

    thanks!

    esmi, thanks, i did read all that.

    i think my problem is i don’t have a site yet. how do i start a site and save it all before publishing it and where do all my files reside until i publish it?

    i thought it asked me to start a blog name when i installed. so i think i wrote in “wordpress.blog”. Now if i go to that in a browser i get a third party blog site called blog.com. It asks me register. I don’t think this is what i want at all.

    can you check that “wordpress.blog” and tell me if that is anything? thanks.

    thanks kris42. when i installed wordpress it asked me to name the file so i called it wordpress.blog. can you look at that and tell me if that is what i’m supposed to start with? it does not give me the option to create a page. it’s from blog.com.

    So i think i just don’t know how to start at all in word press. if i start with ww.wp.xz.cn how do i start a website? i’m confused. i do not see anyplace to start other than read all the material, which i already did.

    thanks.
