Confused Newbie

OK - I'll admit, I'm new at this. This is going to sound dumb but I can't figure out how to get to where I start to build a site . . . well, that's not exactly true. I did figure out how to log in to SiteBuilder by going to hostgator.com/builder and I've wandered around there. But I can't figure out how to access the control panel from there - or how to access the control panel at all. I'm not sure I like SiteBuilder and so I want to know how to "access" my account so that maybe I can import from FrontPage. Any help would be really appreciated.

Thank you so much, Evan. That was too easy - I'm so glad these forums are here. I have a feeling you guys are going to "see" alot of me!!

Have you asked for access for the whole forums?

Thanks VTrain - I haven't yet but I haven't received my confirmation email yet - I guess I have to have that first. I will say that things are still VERY foggy for me. So far the only info I've really gotten is from what's here, hopefully once I'm fully confirmed the picture will get a bit clearer. Did you find this to be true, also?

The confirm email comes VERY quickly. Either you will get a phone call shortly or your email is lost. I wouldn't wait for it too long. Call them if you don't get it in like an hour after you sign up.
