   Need to set you Blog and WordPress address (URL) values to http://tuplipglasses.dom .

   If you can't login to do that may need to fix via phpMyAdmin and this tutorial will help:

   Also I followed the tutorial and both home and siteurl are set to http://tulipglasses.com. I don't know if this helps but I use hostmonster and this is not my primary website. It is in a subdirectory of public HTML. /home2/myusername/public_html/tulipglasses/

   When you visit http://tulipglasses.com/wp-login.php and hover the mouse over the blog title at the top of the screen it shows http://wordpress.org which means the Blog address {URL} in Settings->General isn't set correctly.

   MichaelH, I don't know exactly which Setting->General section you are talking about. However I am sure and double sure that the siteurl and home values are both set to "http://tulipglasses.com" exactly as shown in quotes. Any advice on where the settings-general value is to be found?

   Login to your admin section and click on Settings and the first screen is General.

   See:Administration > Settings > General

   Hey MichaelH. Those are all set to the correct values. Actually the values on the http://tulipglasses.com/wp-login.php are correct as well. Where it has wordpress.org as the href is where a big wordpress picture should be over the text. Down at the bottom is the correct href to go back to the website. For example, here is the same line from a WP blog I read a lot

   I'm still open to suggestions everyone. I guess I'm going to try contacting Hostmonster too, but i know they stress that they don't offer WP support =[

   Hi all. One thing that made a difference is I went into the CSS and changed a few of the hrefs from images/whatever.jpg to the FULL destination url, eg, http://tulipglasses.com/wp-content/themes/default/images/whatever.jpg. Only after this did the images in the CSS appear. Now, there are a lot of CSS files and I would REALLY rather not go through and change them all, so does anyone have any idea how to fix this? As I mentioned before this is not my primary domain, so the directory for this is one level below my public_html level. It's at home2/myusername/public_html/tulipglasses... would this be making the difference?

    WOOHOO! I got it after viewing liveheaders and saw there was a 403 error. It was because it is a subdirectory and my .htaccess file restricted certain file usage.
