Hi there. Thanks in advance for help!
My ISP assisted me in pointing my blog @ http://www.gypsybeauty.com/cosmetics/index.php to my domain name @ http://www.gypsybeauty.com/
However, now some links go to the directory structure and some show inside my theme but 404 not found. I have no idea how to fix this and they don't seem to want to answer request for help.
I apologize for a nooblet question but I've tried everything I think might work. I am afraid I will do more damage than good at this point.
Does anyone have any idea whats going on just by what I am offering above?
did you update your permalinks?

Thank you whooami. I clicked "Update Permalink Structure" >> and then copied and pasted
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /cosmetics/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /cosmetics/index.php [L]
</IfModule>
to the .htaccess file then uploaded it.
This did not seem to help.
PS Who are you? :)

That's not the right way to do it.
Ask back your money from that ISP smartguy who told you to do it.
For both of you, here is some reading:

Well, ok but I have another blog hosted by them that works fine set up the same way?
I use their installer to put the WordPress blog on the server. I don't really know enough to do it myself.
Tell them to read the link I gave you... and also tell them to learn how to set index.php as a valid index file. On any decent server that is done out of the box. (yes, you can quote me on this)
