Thx JO, that simple thing was it. I now have my first php webpage out
on my domain space as opposed to just the localhost.
http://merrillpjensen.com/index.php#
Why did the server add a hash on the end of it?
Why does the sidebar not end up on the side like it does for the local
host and the same browser?
I uploaded these files using Filezilla. I can see that if this is the
way I'm going to do this, then whatever ends up on my server will be
riddled with mistakes and differing versions of things.

And again thx,but I made this change and got a parse error from it. I
can't even show it, because I had to go in and overwrite it so as to
have anything to show at all, which is important so that others can see
what I'm trying to do.
I have simple questions at this point: how do you try something new on
your server without stomping all over the last thing that worked?
