Norm, thank you for your post. I got lost on the 4th or 5th step in your other post you made & went onto Keyalea's steps. Also got lost about half way through. But I realized this was with the previous setup I had. So I uninstalled MAMP & Wordpress, got a fresh download of MAMP & Wordpress. Followed these steps http://sawmac.com/mamp/. Then followed Keyalea's steps & sure enough, I got it!
Thank you all so much for all the help. I don't feel like a complete dumbass anymore. I still don't like the 5 minute install slogan they have. I wish they would just provide these steps & have their slogan be "5 Minute install (with step by step guide)" Because it gives you that expectation that anybody can do it with little to no knowledge & that doesn't seem to be true at all.
(Stepping off my soapbox) Either way, I am so happy to now be able to get my feet wet with WordPress & actually give it a try. Thank you all again! Your great!
