need help fast, replaced alternator, now the car wont start

i forgot to disconnect the battery when replacing the alternator. when i was connecting the electrical connectors to the new alternator it sparked and made a audible poping noise. went to start up the car and nothing works, no domelight, no radio, nothing. did i blow a fuse? what should i check first?

I'd check the main relay fuse-under the hood first.You won't get anything if that blew.

Check all the fuses.
