"The code' is a bit generic, but if the video tells you to put it in the index file, then that's where it should go. If something isn't working, we need to see what you have.
Ben's right, having some understanding of PHP is clearly helpful, but I have none and that didn't hinder me in following this tutorial and doing my own themes. I just had to be more careful copying the php code, as I wouldn't be able to catch any typos by just looking at my lines.
Guys,
I just completed the how to build WordPress themes tutorial and i ended up with a homepage, blog page about us, a side bar footer amongst other things. 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.

Ben,
Thanks for your response. I put the code in the index.php file as instructed in the video. Should i have put it somewhere else?
All:
The courses are good. I am a complete newbie to web design and these videos have helped me out thus far...
Thanks.

Has anyone had success with this?

Thanks a Bunch. I truly appreciate the feedback.

You must create your database via through your cpanel of your host account.
There are typically 4 things you need to edit within the wp-config.php file that has to match the database.
You enter your database name, database username, database password and possibly the database host setting. You should be able to get all these info from the database you created earlier.
The area of the wp-config.php file should look like this:
// ** MySQL settings - You can get this info from your web host ** // /** The name of the database for WordPress */ define('DB_NAME', 'database_name_here'); /** MySQL database username */ define('DB_USER', 'username_here'); /** MySQL database password */ define('DB_PASSWORD', 'password_here'); /** MySQL hostname */ define('DB_HOST', 'localhost');The instructions above is based on the fact that you have Wordpress files uploaded to your host (hostgator), created a database and applied the database credentials to your wp-config.php file.
If you are still having problems, send us a Private Message and provide the code from your wp-config.php file and a screen capture of your hostgator database credentials.
