    Here is the issue.. I Screwed Up.. I have a WordPress Blog hosted on GoDaddy. I was in my WP Dashboard @ General Settings trying to change my startpage, So, like a fool, I changed the database url.. from joemina.com to joemina.com/about.. figuring it would go to that page.. Well, that screwed up the database and I could not get back in to change it back to joemina.com.. Go Ddy.. had me .. backup the database,then restore, then sent me info on Fixing a broken WP installation.. I did it all and it does not work. I can't even sign in to WordPress to get into my Blog @ joemina.com.. If you go to http://joemina.com a page will come up and it has all the content that is in my site @ joemina.com, but it is not WordPress,, Go daddy said that the support I need is beyond what they offer for their customers..

    The only fix I can see is that I would have to uninstall my WordPress installation on GoDaddy and re-install, but then I will loose all my content and have to start all over..I would really hate to do that if it can be avoided..

    PLEASE HELP...
