Hi. I just installed Wordpress with yahoo webhosting but when trying to install wordpress, it's asking me for a database name. Where would I find this info? I called yahoo but they just gave me an email address and said I had to email a certain department in Yahoo. I did so and still have yet to hear from them.

Also, I think with WORDPRESS you can make your own blog site but is there a way to add a comments section for your homepage? Not a separate blog page but a comments section for a specific page on your website?

For example, if you enter www.paulhkim.com (my website) and go to the home page, you'll see a under construction picture. Is there a way that someone can post a comment to that picture or what I have up for that day?

Thank you in advance!

For the second part :: Manual commenting.
[ http://haloscan.com/ ]
For the first :: You need to create a mysql database. So you name it whatever you want, it just has to be there. I'm not sure if Yahoo! webhosting even has the ability to do that.

So with haloscan, you have to have a blog publishing tool to work with?

Is there a way that I can copy and paste a certain code into my home page that will allow people to comment wherever I want them to?

I said manual commenting for a reason.... wink.gif
You choose manual commenting when you sign up and they explain the rest.
