   My blog is located at http://bottomline-radio.com/blog. I want it to operate from the root directory: http://bottomline-radio.com. I followed the procedure w/respect to copying index.html to root and modifying as follows: "('./blog/wp-blog-header.php');". I also updated my Permalinks structure from the default option to the date option, resulting in a new .htaccess file. Right now, I have a mess on my hand:

   Root directory (bottomline-radio.com) gives me the "under construction" message and bottomline-radio.com/blog gives me a blank page. ??????

   I did something wrong somewhere, but don't know where......

   Delete that index.html file (or rename it index_old.html)

   Assuming WordPress is now accessible at http://bottomline-radio.com/blog but you want to leave the files in the blog folder and make WordPress accessible at http://bottomline-radio.com:

   In Settings->General, the Blog address (URL) to http://bottomline-radio.com and put this index.php (notice it is named index.php) file in your web-root folder (it is the same folder that contains the blog folder)

   <?php
   /* Short and sweet */
   define('WP_USE_THEMES', true);
   require('./blog/wp-blog-header.php');
   ?>

   Then update your permalinks in Settings->Permalinks.

   Thanks for your prompt response. Things have gone from bad to worse. I am now unable to log in to my blog to make necessary changes: http://www.bottomline-radio.com/blog. Previously, I was able to Log-In using link at bottom of page but now get following message:The page cannot be found (http://bottomline-radio.com/wp-login.php). I am stymied for the moment.
