Very New To Cron - Setting Up Schedule Jobs with Dreamhost
I just set it up with dreamhost shared hosting.
I went into cron jobs in my dreamhost control panel and added a new job.
under command to run I put 
"/usr/bin/php /home/DREAMHOST-USER/EXAMPLE.COM/wp-content/plugins/civicrm/civicrm/bin/cli.php -u WP-USER -p WP-USER-PASS -e Job -a execute"
Obviously leave out the quotation marks and change all the sections in CAPITAL letters
