  Hi!
  I’m new with wordpress and after having struggled with the installation for 10 hours, I decided to drop you a line.

  I’m not familiar with coding so my questions might sound stupid for you guys but I would really like to get started.

  I bought the wordpress premium a couple of days ago and a domain: 3rdmarts.com

  I downloaded wordpress files from wordpress.org

  I downloaded a software: softaculous AMPPS, so that I would get wordpress running.

  In softaculous it says under current installations:

  http://127.0.0.1. Path/Applications/AMPPS/www

  When I click the link, I enter the url: 127.0.0.1

  Is wordpress now installed properly?
  Where am I supposed to upload the files I downloaded from wordpress.org?

  Again, I’m sorry for my stupid questions but there is so much information on this subject and I can’t just figure out what to do.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)
