Have you set up any custom permalinks? If so, was the .htaccess file successfully created/amended?
I had not done that but I have now and it is still suffering the same problem.
I changed from;
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^home.htm$ benton-photographic.php
RewriteRule ^portrait_([0-9][0-9]).htm$ portrait.php?id=$1
RewriteRule ^wedding_([0-9][0-9]).htm$ wedding.php?id=$1
RewriteRule ^gallery_([0-9][0-9]).htm$ gallery.php?id=$1
RewriteRule ^event_([0-9][0-9]).htm$ event.php?id=$1
RewriteRule ^industrial_([0-9][0-9]).htm$ industrial.php?id=$1
RewriteRule ^contact_([0-9][0-9]).htm$ contact.php?id=$1
RewriteRule ^wed_([0-9][0-9]).htm$ wedding-page.php?page_id=45
to:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /berlin/
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /berlin/index.php [L]
</IfModule>

The site at http://www.bentonphotographic.com.au/berlin/ is working perfectly for me – custom permalinks and all.
But when you navigate to my blog page the php id thing gets displayed in the address bar, this is what I am trying to change to the word blog
like this;
http://www.bentonphotographic.com.au/berlin/blog
If you try to navigate there you get the following message;
This is somewhat embarrassing, isn’t it?
Cheers

Try checking your custom menu. I think you hardcoded that Blog link.
Yes you are right under menus i have a menu entry named blog and in the URL section I have the following;
http://www.bentonphotographic.com.au/berlin/?p=0
On the wp-admin/nav-menus.php screen under heading pages there is no page named blog. When I have done a search on the page named blog nothing comes up either.
So I did create a custom link item here and called it blog with the hard wired entry as described above.
Is there something I can do to make this dynamic?
Ben
What items do you have in your custom menu in Appearance -> Menus?
I have created a menu called my_menu and I have three menu items with the word page in the top right hand corner;
Home
Wedding
Portrait
And then I have one menu item with the word custom in the top right hand corner;
Blog
Try deleting that menu and then re-creating it.
The whole menu named my_menu?
Okay I have had a quick go at that and I only created menus items for the pages, and now I have no way of navigating to the blog page, without creating a custom link.
So how would I navigate to the blog page?

If you set the main posts page (ie Blog) up using the instructions in creating a static front page, it will be listed in the Pages list within Appearance -> Menus.
Thank You esmi the instruction in the document creating a static front page proved to be very helpful.
Cheers
