 * Can WordPress be installed here in ‘myblog’ folder & operate separately from 
   my website in the htdocs folder?
 * Root Folder /
    ! htdocs ! ! ! cgi-bin ! ! ! myblog ! ! logfiles

 * Thanks for that WPyogi,
 * The completed website in the root/htdocs directory is a non WordPress designed
   website. See ‘www.open4writing.com’.
    I want this non WordPress website to have
   a menu item call My Blog, which can be linked or pointed to a WordPress designed
   blog stored separately in the /myblog folder.
 * Does your advice allow for this?

 * If I’m understanding correctly, sure, shouldn’t be a problem.
