Licker, your install file is up and ready for your input (I just checked). Now hurry up and set it up before you're hacked.

I logged in with admin as the username and the password WP gave me, wrote a title and post, hit "Publish" and nothing. WTF?

Try deleting the placeholder index.html from your host. It overrides http://www.girl-squirts.com/index.php

Hot damn! That was it!

OK, over on the right of the page is "Blogroll" with links under it. How do I get rid of those?

You can't. It would be a violation of WP's licensing terms and your blog would self-destruct.

Seriously, now it's time for you to read the documentation and play around in the admin panel. Most of it is pretty self-explanatory.

The first things I would do is delete the install file if you haven't done so already and change the permalink structure (hint: options -> permalinks). Anything is better than the default.

Congrats on your new blog and welcome to the dark side.

Yep, it's looking pretty murky right now. I'll dig into it some more.
