[PodcastMN] wordpress redux

[Garrick Van Buren]

Installing and configuring MySQL is the 2nd least fun thing I've ever  
attempted (the first being DNS).

If the webhost doesn't have a MySQL db as part of the account, I'd go  
elsewhere.

If - on the other hand - they do, then open up the wp-config- 
sample.php file in your wordpress directory and enter in the db  
username, db password, and db name your host gives you. Then rename  
the file 'wp-config.php' (removing '-sample').
