address of blog

  • Hi

    Thanks for reading my cry for help.
    I’m new to blogging, well I haven’t even installed yet, but I’m trying to make sure everything is right before I install to avoid problems later.

    I already have a website
    domain.com
    and I’d like to install WordPress so that it appears as
    domain.com/blog

    How do I do this, or will it automatically default to this?

    I presume I should wait until 2.5 is released before installing my WordPress blog now?

    Many thanks!

    Rob

  • Hello

    You need to login to your server via FTP, then create the “blog” folder, then upload all the WP files to this “blog” folder than when ready to install goto: https://yourdomain.com/blog/wp-admin/install.php ??

    As far as waiting for 2.5, that is up to you. ??

    Hi BPartch

    Great, thanks for your reply.
    If my blog is at
    domain.com/blog
    Does that mean the blog folder will be added to the permalinks, i.e
    domain.com/blog/2008/post-name
    rather than the preferred
    domain.com/2008/post-name
    ?

    Many thanks

    Yes.

    Install it and you will save a lot of questions…

    Hi Moshu

    Bummer.
    So how would I go about removing the /blog/ part of the permalink?

    And I think I’m going to wait until 2.5 before installing. it would be a bit tough getting used to the layout of 2.3.3 admin pages and then have to re-learn a week later for 2.5.

    Many thanks

    “Amazingly polite”?!

    So I can’t call him an asshole for saying ‘amazingly polite” jewels like these:

    “I assume the call for your sidebar is also “coded” in that obfuscated sh*t.
    You should never use a theme that puts this kind of crappy code in the files.”
    “Did you close the anchor (a) tag started? – No you didn’t.”
    “Define ‘update'”
    “Says who?”

    Oh, the list goes on….

    His answers are plain rude.Sure he gives the answers, and makes some nice tutorials, but he has a bad attitude.
    If all you groupies fail to see that, and are blind to the others here who feel the same as I do, and who haven’t googled him (try moshu plus any expletive) than feel free to live in denial that His Holiness is a great and kind person.

    But whatever. I’ve volunteered for a few non-profits, got to interact with all kinds of people. Never felt it was my right to call them idiots and “helping the countless fucking people” as whooami called the WP needy. That’s ripe. So polite. You two are made for each other. Reminds me of when GWB called a certain journalist a “real asshole,” and Cheney replied “yes sir.”
