 * Where, exactly, on your site did you put WordPress?
 * [http://www.classicalchandeliers.co.uk/blog/](http://www.classicalchandeliers.co.uk/blog/)
   is a 404 as well.

 * Sure doesn’t seem to be a blog there.
 * After the install finished did you receive a confirmation email? What URL was
   on that?

 * Is it anything to do with my .htacess file

 * Hmm… yeah. I’m not an .htaccess expert, but you might add a line to that one 
   like:
 * `RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/blog.* [NC]`
 * Put it right before that Zen Cart comment.

 * thanks that was a great help and got the blog working as a stamdalone blog.
    
   I’ve now added the blog into zencart using a module so the blog is accessible
   from the sidebar and I’ve now been able to remove this line. The module overcomes
   this rewrite issue. If other people want wordpress on zencart then this seems
   to be a good way to integrate into the site. I’ve used the CEON URL tool and 
   the WOZ zencart wordpress module. This can be seen at [http://www.classicalchandeliers.co.uk](http://www.classicalchandeliers.co.uk)
 * Thanks Again.
