  I recently decided to move my webpage from wordpress.com to a separate host, since I wanted to customize my page more (ie have access to all the code I want, instead of just CSS).

  I set up an account with the web host, clicked the button that integrates wordpress with my account, saw that the wp files needed to be on the server are there, saw that the wp-config.php files is in the public_html folder (I saw these through my FTP window).

  What do I do next ?
  How do I access the files within my website? (I wish to start creating a child theme, etc.)

  Kind of at a crossroads here, since its hard to tell what’s necessary to do yet, and what can be left as is. Once I have this checklist of sorts, then I can begin the issues of actual site construction.

  Help!
  Heaps o’ Thanks.
