 * Hi, really don’t know what I’ve done, but I think I have a htaccess file problem.
 * I added a new domain to my directory without creating a subdirectory, so it blew
   my old domain access away.
 * the old domain is sitting in a subfolder entitled /elmers_blog/
 * I can physically type [http://mydomainname/elmers_blog](http://mydomainname/elmers_blog)
   and fully browse the site. But if I try pointing to that subfolder thru “Domain
   Pointing” in my control panel, all I get is white page and messed-up html, like
   it’s not loading wordpress correctly.
 * Any ideas? It would be greatly appreciated!
 * Thanks much
 * Elmerdawg
