WordPress Help


I dunno if it's because I have a touch of the flu or what, but I am having one heck of a time figuring this thing out. I have someone helping me with a layout, but wanted to goof around with WordPress now that I have my domain name and hosting.

I want my web site address to be www.renorenovations.net so that is what I made my default URL on the WP setup. When i go to the dashboard and try to preview my site it goes to http://renorenovations.net/ (doesn't have the www in front of it) and says that the website is coming soon.

I am generally pretty computer proficient, but am a total noob when it comes to websites. Any help is appreciated.

Yah, just go change it right before you want to send it live.

Re: WordPress Help


no i've got someone helping me with a custom theme. Thanks for the offer though. I just kept the default theme so that I could write "coming soon" on it incase someone goes to my site.
