I clicked the link to a website I visit every day, www.giveawayoftheday.com (http://www.giveawayoftheday.com), and both in Firefox and IE I get a page with this message: "Wordpress.It doesn't look like you've installed WP yet. Try running install.php."

What in the world is that? I am not going to click the install.php link until I know more. Can any help me?

Edited to add: I don't get the message now, but the site will not load. Possibly they went out of business or are having tech problems. I am still curious about the wordpress message.

Edit #2: I am able to load the site on my desktop. I have not retried on my laptop where I first had the problem, but the site is online. I am still curious about wordpress, however.

Wordpress is the software that the site uses for their content management (i.e. blog). That message generally show up when the wordpress software is initially installed on the site, but has not been configured. I only know this because I used Wordpress to set up my niece's site (http://www.felterfamily.com/abby - note the Wordpress link at the bottom).

Sounds like they are making some changes and you caught it early enough to see it prior to being completed.
