	Well, I have no screen-capture set up o my server, so cannot
	show the firefox display.  But here is the samr thing using
	lynx:

	According to the /usr/local/www/wordpress/* files, php is not
	running.  I had the wordpress port install itself in the default
	place: in /usr/local/www; should I cp the files somewhere else?
	--I have no subdomain wordpress (or wordpress.thought.org).

   WordPress requires that your web server is running PHP. Your server          
   does not have PHP installed, or PHP is turned off.

   ERROR                          



	So:: are there other ways of installing this stuff?  Should I
	cp -rp this wordpress directory in [e.g.]
	/usr/local/www/journey?

	Thanks for any clues,

	gary
