 * I seem to be completely failing to understand WP multisite. I know very little
   about hosting and file system management.
 * I did a multisite install when I first installed wordpress. It was installed 
   in /public_html/wp. Currently [http://www.theslowroad.org/wp/](http://www.theslowroad.org/wp/)
   is run from this install.
 * I also hold the domain melissakuhnell.com. There is currently a folder public_html/
   melissakuhnell.com which holds the old html and css files for this site. I want
   to use wordpress to build a new new site at melissakuhnell.com.
 * I tried to add it as a site in the Wrodpress Network Admin, but that failed.
 * How do I accomplish this?

 * You wouldn’t be able to map domains, sadly, because WP is installed in a folder.
 * If it wasn’t, I’d tell you to make a new site called melissakuhnell so it would
   be melissakuhnell.theslowroad.org or theslowroad.org/melissakuhnell
 * THEN you can map domains to it.
