  Hi, I’ve checked around, but can’t seem to find an answer.

  I have never worked with blogging software on my domain so I gave it a shot. I’ve had my site for around 6 years. It’s established and I thought a blog would add some interest. I followed the directions only to find, apparently, the instructions were for using the blog for your entire site, not a feature.

  I tried moving everything to a specific directory, but it doesn’t work now. I tried reconfiguring my index.php file, but that didn’t work. Every site I’ve found on subdirectories discusses leaving bits of the files in the root directory, as you would if the blog were your actual web site. They also list your blog url should be something like http://sample.com, I already have a main page. The URL with the directory is: http://laurawrites.net/wordpress/

  Is there any hope? Should I just delete it all?

  You need to head over to http://wordpress.ORG/support/ That is where self-hosted blogs are supported. This is the wordpress.COM free hosting service and the software here works differently.

  Afraid you’ll have to ask over at WordPress.org, as that’s the site that supports the independent version of WordPress software. Our software here is quite different and we won’t be able to help you.
