I found this very good video on how to create a MySQL database for your WordPress blog. The video walks you through the setup of your database and how to add a user to it.
Then it goes into the setting up of your config.php file and what you have to do to upload your WordPress software to the server.
I know many new bloggers who first buy their own hosting are confused about this whole system. The guy in the video really did a great job of explaining how you can do this.
Check it out.

I am looking for something a little more complicated. I have wordpress working and mysql configured. However, I would like to create a data entry form in my blog that sends information to another mysql database and also tie in to paypal. I can find lots of technical information but nowhere the exact step by step to do this.
