So I made a mysql account or database and my account name and user name are the same. I uploaded VIA filezilla ftp client the whole folder and named it blog and deleted my blog html page. I try to install it as they say and it does nothing. I then proceed to upload it to the root before you go into the website folder itself and I still get nothing.
What could I be doing wrong?

Have you followed the five minute guide they offer?:
http://codex.wordpress.org/Installin...Minute_Install

If so, which step are you stuck on?

This is just a shot in the dark here, as it's very difficult to know wat the problem is without seeing what's going on at the back end of the server. So this is just a guess...

Since you said you're getting database errors, make sure the names are correct, (ie, the host username underscore, database and account name).

So if your database name is abc,
Your account name is xyz,
And your hos name is cowsgonemad, make sure they are entered correctly, like this:
cowsgonemad_abc
cowsgonemad_xyz

Like I said this is really just a shot in the dark as we can't see what's going on server-side, but I encountered the same error before. If that's not it, perhaps you could display what steps you took specifically, and we'll walk you through it.

Okay I am getting some help now and I just today got a paid host. Maybe my free host was bad.

Yeah, free hosts aren't good for this sort of setup.

Feel free post here if you ever had any more problems or questions about it .
