    I can be found either 40 miles west of Chicago, or in a galaxy far, far away.

    Have you rebooted so the GUI will be refreshed? If so, then it might be that wordpress doesn't know how to install the icons in the xfce desktop. Try running it from the command line instead. Start a console/terminal window to get the command line, and execute it from there.
    Sometimes, real fast is almost as good as real time.

    What error do you get when you try to run it from the command line?

    Your spelling might be incorrect. Try this:
    Code:
    ls -1 /usr/bin /usr/local/bin | grep -i wordpress
    That should return the actual command name if it is mixed-case.

    Ok. I understand now - wordpress is a php-driven browser-based tool. You won't find it in the system commands. You need to start your browser and load the readme.html file from the installation directory. It will tell you how to proceed.
