How do I logon to MySQL? This is probably a stupid question, but I have no experiance with MySQL. So, any help would be nice.
Is there like some kind of FTP type thing for MySQL?

You can use a program that you can install on your computer to connect to your database. People recommend Macson, there is a whole list of programs here (http://www.mysql.com/downloads/os-win32.html).

Others (including myself) would say to use phpMyAdmin, which is a script that you can install on your site to administer your database. Im actually in the process of writing the installation tutorial for that one, if you search the forums youll find some handy posts about what files need the added line.
