Question by Meezie: How to start a website/wordpress help???
OK so when it comes to working with the web, I am super slow. I don’t even understand half the terminology out there and i desperately need a webpage. I decided to start a basic one with wordpress for now, eventually telling myself I would create my own from scratch. I know how to design it, but sadly, I don’t have an effing clue how to put it up on the web and make it all work. I’ve tried to read the help sections and search for answers, but all the help I can find are from people who assume you know what the hell you’re doing, and I don’t. I need help from the beginning to end. I need all the basic info that most people assume I would already know. I went to design school but they never taught us anything about web design and now it’s killing me.
To get back to what I was saying about wordpress, I ended up finding a theme that I think would work well for what I want to put up (it wasn’t through wordpress, it was one of those best free themes for wordpress pages) and it gave me VERY basic instructions on how to put it up. It was then that I realized (through much searching) that I needed an FTP, and I needed to download a newer version of WordPress (although I don’t really remember downloading it in the first place) and I need to do all these things. All I know is I want to put this them up on wordpress and then upload all my images, and I don’t know how. I’m getting so frustrated and I just really need some help. I don’t really know anyone who’s super knowledgeable with web design, so does anyone here have any tips for me or know of any websites that give very easy to understand basic instructions for absolute beginners? Or books for that matter??
I really really appreciate any help, and please don’t leave any smart ass comments. If this question isn’t worth your time, please don’t leave a comment. Thank you in advance for helping me, I really appreciate it!!
BTW, I’m working with a Mac. And I have CS3 with Flash and Dreamweaver, just in case you needed to know.

ftp comes with dreamweaver already just have the site saved in a folder, you will see it on your tool bar to the right or left however you set up your tools. Now it has an arrow which will upload your entire site or you can click the square looking button to view the files you wish to upload.
All you need to do is go to your webhosting account with the company you are using and then click on help then ftp and it will tell you the server ftp. Its not hard.
