Hello All,

I've started a website to let my family and friends keep track of me and my girlfriend while travelling www.globetrotterz.com . I'm sure you all understand how hard it is to learn anything about web design as there is just so much choice and no 2 people will recommend the same thing

I've been using Dreamweaver and updating via FTP. I would now like to take the next step and get into Dynamic Content. I've currently installed Coldfusion on JRun4 and also MYSQL with SQLyog.

I cannot however seem to create a database or even connect to my localhost. Can anyone help me out here

When I startup SQLyog it gives me some options in order to connect to a database such as connection name, host, password etc.. I'm not sure if I should have already set up the database through MySQL before using SQLyog, or if I create the database with SQLyog.

Any help here would be greatly appreciated.
