Does anyone have any experience of setting up wordpress?
Here's the problem, I own one domain of www.animationworkshop.co.uk which is used for my work. I have just purchased the domain www.theroyaltudor.co.uk and also upgraded my hosting so that it will host both domains with multiple data bases. Both domains will use Wordpress, my work domain is already up and working but I just cannot get theroyaltudor domain to run with wordpress as the main index page when you log onto the site, and cannot for the life of me remember how I did it for the first domain, nor find instructions.
Anyone got any experience or point me in the right direction with this?

Not used wordpress but have touched on Joomla.
Try uploading the contents of the Wordpress download, NOT the Wordpress folder. Hope that makes sense.
Then, the index.htm/html/php should be picked up on.

I have only ever created my websites using word, then saving as html, then just copied the index page and the folders containing the images, since geocities stopped doing free pages, my little websites have gone, but they generally were just pictures and text.

Thanks Guys! Finally sussed out what I had done wrong.
First of all I had the wrong nameservers set up, and secondly I had installed Wordpress into its own directory instead of the root directory.
For a bloke that spends most of the day sat at a computer...I'm a bit thick!
