My first question is have you set up your name servers at Namecheap? That is, if you registered your domain at Namecheap. Here is what you need to do: 1. login to your account at Namecheap there is a menu across the top of the page, click on “manage domains” 2. from the list of domains (I have a bunch, you probably only have one), click on your domain name 3. on the next page it will say modify domain and will show all of your personal information, look at the menu to the left and click on “domain name server setup” 4. verify that the name server information matches what Host Gator gave you. If they don’t change them to the correct name servers. (make sure you click on “save changes” when your done) If the name servers were incorrect, then that is your problem. Sometimes it can take a day or so for the name servers to propagate over so don’t be surprised if it still doesn’t work right away. Normally it happens within an hour or so. If your name servers were correct, then you have an issue with Host Gator and will have to go through tech support to see what the problem is. Hope this helps, JT PS - I tried to email this to you twice and the mail server kicked it back. Hi CJ,

Unfortunately, going to library is not an option for me. My domain is set up with hostgator and they gave me my name servers and some links. When I go to the cpanel link, that's where the glitch happens. I was following the steps in Dean's eBook. For the process of installing the Wordpress Blog to your hosting with Fantastico, Dean deferred that to Matt Garrett's blog tactics video. I could not follow that. If you're still able/willing to help me, email would be great. Is your email address somewhere here? Or can you send me an email to start? Thanks again, cj Hi JT,

I guess I need to work on my "about me" page. I can't imagine that your security settings would not permit you to login to your cpanel. Have you tried from a different computer? Try the library. I go there sometimes to get away from the incredible amount of noise that 3 kids can generate. Where have you registered your domain? Have you set up your name servers? I am not sure how you could have a blog set up if you haven't been able to login to your cpanel. You might have one on wordpress.com, but they own it not you. I could explain it step by step here but the easiest thing to do is go to http://deanholland.com and download his free ebook that he just published "Blog Set Up". He walks you through the process step by step. If you still have problems then contact me via email and I will give you a hand. Hi CJ,

It's pretty clear I am in over my head with all of this. If you're able to help me get the PPF setup this coming weekend, that would be beyond tremendous! In the meantime, I have a wordpress blog set up (I think?). I have hostgator setup with a domain name and the hosting. Could you help me do whatever it is I'm supposed to do so that Wordpress doesn't own my blog? I tried to login to cPanel, but it would never accept my user name and password, maybe security on my computer is too high? (it's necessary for the kind of work I do) I don't know what to do about that, even temporarily... I see the potential that Alex has presented. If I could just make some headway with the basics, it would be a good feeling. Thanks again for whatever your schedule allows. Here's some fun: "cj's" a "she" :) Is "JT" a he? Thanks, cj Hello JT,
