 * hi, nebiw again. all my links (be that at post, title, category) all return to
   my main website [http://www.free-me.com](http://www.free-me.com). My blog is 
   at root/blog. that gets there okay but when i want to view any posts it goes 
   striaght to my homepage. Have tried some custom link things, but they just give
   a 404 error then. Any ideas for a newbie?
    Thanks

 * Try resetting your custom permalinks back to the default setting. If this works,
   then review [Using_Permalinks](http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Permalinks) before
   setting a custom permalink structure back up again.

 * ok, i have reset my permalink. My site then shows up, but any link i click on
   takes me to root of site. If I click the post, the category , anything it returns
   my homepage at [http://www.free-me.com](http://www.free-me.com). further ideas?

 * ok, i have also established if i make any of my permalinks custom, then images
   dissapear off my actual website, and the error log show that the index.php file
   can not be found. As soon as I revert to default permalinks, the images re appear.
   
   2) if i type a link such as [http://www.free-me.com/blog/p1](http://www.free-me.com/blog/p1)
   then it works and displays post 1. However if i then click any categories it 
   goes to my root web page. ideas? could it be in the link settings/

 * Ok, so I have tried a few things: My blog seems to be working in a WP sort of
   way. It does what it needs to do, I can post, e-mail posts to it and even the
   categories are working with custom permalinks. And my images are not disappearing.
   
   Great, except how do I allow users to click on my banner title (the site name
   that I made which sits on top of the header/banner image in the theme) How do
   I change that link so when a user clicks the Free Me link, they go to [http://www.free-me.com](http://www.free-me.com)
   and see all content as I would like? And that they do not revert to top level
   of [http://www.free-me.com/blog](http://www.free-me.com/blog)
 * I am sure it is a simple fix, anyone help? Please?
