 * Dear Smarter People,
 * I built my first wordpress web site and it works great from the admin login.
 * When I set the domain pointer to the site WordPress directory (two subdirectories
   down from the root), the text comes up but none of the nice formatting of the
   theme.
 * Previous posts suggest a css-styles issue; I have checked permissions, etc and
   most are set to 644.
 * Any ideas?
 * thanks

 * Rookie mistake.
 * I needed to remove the two subdirectories from the Site Address and WordPress
   address in the General Settings.
 * Problem solved
