I tried your suggestions but I am afraid that my results were the same. It seems to register but the last page during the attempt comes up showing a blank screen with the exception of the WordPress logo.
I can see the database structure lands in my host but as for queuing me
futher post registration I am still a little lost here. Perhaps I am missing the point of some of the instructions. I will try toresearch this further in the docs on this site but if you have additional ideas of what might be going wrong I would love to hear them.
Thanks,
John
