Question Help with Bluehost and Wordpress
Let's just say I definately know that website creation is NOT part of my niche! I've only just started on my business website and I'm stuck already. I'm wondering if any of you might be able to direct me in what I'm doing wrong.

Here is what I have so far - my domain is registered with Godaddy, my host is Bluehost and I'm trying to use Wordpress to design my site.

Here's the problem - From Bluehost I've installed Wordpress and it lists my website (www.vermillionadmin.com) but when I click on the link for admin login it just takes me to my website page that is "parked" by godaddy. I don't find anyplace to enter my admin login information.

I'm assuming this admin login area I'm trying to get to is the place I need to be to design (themes, content, etc.) my website, right? But, how do I get there?

Anybody have any advice? Thanks!

Default Re: Help with Bluehost and Wordpress
Since you are using a different host then where you purchased the domain, you will need to point the domain name (at GoDaddy) to your hosting account (Bluehost). You can contact your hosting customer support and they will help you. But what you will need to do:

Sign into GoDaddy and go to MY ACCOUNTS
From there select DOMAIN MANAGER and select your domain name
Find the NAMESERVERS section and select SET NAMESERVERS
Make sure the "I have specific nameservers for my domain" and change Nameserver1 and Nameserver2 to those specified by your hosting company.
Click OK and it will repoint.

This usually takes about an hour or more so do not panic if you do not have access right away.

After this is completed you should be able to access your admin panel for wordpress.
