Mike, Joomla is a CMS that stores it's content in a database. You are thinking of it as a physical website, it is not. Each page request is created on the fly. More than likely you will need to create the DB and then let Joomla know the DB name, Username, and Password.
You might want to read about Joomla to get an idea what it is, how to install it, and how to configure it.

why is it asking for database info?! oh bother.well I tried to create a database but this is the error it gives:
An error occurred while trying to create the database onlineworkfinder.us.
The user may not have enough privileges to create a database. The required database may need to be created separately before you can install Joomla!.
So please, what do I need to do. Should I chown something? If so, what?:-)~MIKE~(-:
