Admin works, site doesn't

I hope someone here can help me, I’m having a really hard time with this. I’m not a hardcore web developer but I understand a fair amount.

I’m trying to move a site from my laptop to bluehost. I’ve read all the documentation I can get my hands on and the point I’m at is WP admin works, but the site itself won’t load (I get a time out error).

I got WordPress up and running locally. I got things looking pretty much how I want them to. Then I went to upload everything to the hosting site. I FTPd all the necessary files. I also figured out that I needed to import the database (something left out of the Codex stuff I read).

I’ve changed the values in the wp_options table to match with the url, and changed the wp-config file. The WP admin works well but the site won’t load.

Can someone help me please?
