newbie confused...
Okay, I've installed MySql and everything and am coming along slowly but surely with the program. I understand how to create a database and everything in my MySQL Command Prompt. The thing that I don't understand is, once I've created my database on my system, how do I get it to my webhosts' server so I can use it on my website?

You go to the webhost's control panel.
You create the database (which may be separate from the PHPmyadmin which you use to administer the database yourself).
Yo then use PHPmyadmin to put things on to the database.:

deronsizemore,
What you would need to do once you have your database set up just the way you want it on your own system, is EXPORT the database (usually to a text file, ie mystuff.sql) then you would IMPORT that file to the database with your web host. You'll need to read the info on the MySQL website about importing/exporting.
Most hosting providers use PHPMyAdmin as the interface with their databases, and it's pretty straightforward to use. You can also set PHPMyAdmin up on your own system as well (that's what I've done).
Hope this gets you pointed in the right direction!
