I found the instructions to this in a thread over at bluehostforum, but thought I’d re-post them here and provide what worked for me.
I’m using Sequel Pro, formerly CocoaMySQL, to connect to databases on my Bluehost account. Here’s what I did.
To pull all the info together, I had to add my IP to:
Cpanel > Databases [...]

So, I’m always annoyed and curious when I get these weird spam messages, and I finally looked them up to see what this was all about. It turns out it’s not technically spam, but some experiment. You can read more about it here at this wikipedia article It was originally called The Great Hatsby, and [...]

So, I’m a complete idiot around the command line, so when someone teaches me how to do something, I write it down so I don’t forget. Today Matt showed me how to quickly and much more easily download an entire online folder via SSH using rsync rather than the slow and tedious method of just [...]
This is a test/ review of the new iPhone app from wordpress. It will be short since I am writing it from my iPhone, but so far, set up took less than a minute and I’m already composing. This is fantastic. It’s also COMPLETELY intuitive. Everything has been right where it should be, and the [...]

I noticed this morning that a comment had made its way into my queue for moderation on one of my rarely updated sites this morning. When I went to moderate it, I saw as I expected that it was spam and filled with links to porn sites. It had the usual “lesbian licking party” with [...]

Man, I love adding cool images to my blog posts, but sometimes it can be a pain to find an image, download it, upload it, get the path, and blah blah blah. So, imgred.com makes it easy to embed images in your site, but instead of hotlinking to the original source, imgred downloads it, places [...]
I spend most of my day with my hands on the keyboard and a web browser open. So, one feature I’ve come to absolutely love is Firefox’s inline autocomplete. Basically what this means is that when you’re typing into the address bar a URL, and you’ve visited a similarly named site before (for instance, I [...]
I’ll be the first to admit that this free script solution isn’t the most full-featured form builder I’ve ever seen, but it is very simple and handy for it’s intended purpose. Sometimes however, you need a little more muscle. Wufoo is just such a muscle. It’s a great, hosted service that lets you manage and [...]
