Ok, so I'm a noob to this format. We are supposed to have 3 free sites on the wordpress direct hosted sites. I have one up successfully. When I try to install a new site it keeps telling me ...

"The domain name you have entered does not resolve correctly and you need to login to your cPanel and create the account. Please check that the *index-of* listing in your browser before proceeding with the installation."

That may be helpful to some, but I have no idea what this means.

Can anyone tell me a step by step process of installing a second and third site to the pre-hosted, free W P D blogs?

1. Register domain name (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7u9d6POCV6o) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7u9d6POCV6o
2. Wait 72 hours for domain to resolve
3. Configure addon domains (http://www.metacafe.com/watch/814323/adding_a_domain_to_a_cpanel_host/) http://www.metacafe.com/watch/814323/adding_a_domain_to_a_cpanel_host/
4. Installing your site in WordPressDirect (http://www.viddler.com/explore/twofeetmedia/videos/11/) http://www.viddler.com/explore/twofeetmedia/videos/11/

We are supposed to have 3 free sites on the wordpress direct hosted sites.
Just to be clear, WordPress Direct is not a host. They will host 1 site for a free account, the other 2 sites you would need your own host.

Paid accounts, they will host 3 sites and the remainder need the customer's own hosting.
