My homepage has 2 pictures that were included in the tutorial...but my next challenges were not addressed in the video.. 1. i need get these files from local host to my hosting company..host-gator...prior to that i would like to change the look of the theme with Photoshop..so that the theme looks unique...any guidance that you can share would be helpful... 2. After the above..how will i make this theme public for others to download once ready? any links you can share on any of these issues would be greatly appreciated..Thanks.

      If you have hostgator they have a one click install for WP. They install the WP files and database, but if you have developed locally you need to respect the naming conventions. You should post to the forum not here.

      Yes. Post the question on the forum. That said, error establishing database connection means either you have not entered the right database URL or your database is not set up. Call your hosting company.
