 * I have only been using this blog for a few weeks, therefore very inexperienced.
   I was on the general options page. I can’t remember what the option said, but
   the field was filled in with our blog website address, [http://www.nrsbaptist.com/blog](http://www.nrsbaptist.com/blog)
 * I changed one of them to the main page of the website. Now the blog page comes
   up without the theme and I cannot log in at all and can not access the options
   page. I get a 404 not found page.
 * How can I fix this?

 * I think I left out a piece of information. I am using Yahoo for my webhosting
   and set my blog up through Yahoo. How do I find the databases as in the tutorial
   example?

 * You must have just fixed it cause it looks okay now. It didn’t 30 seconds ago
   😉

 * Thanks for your help. I can say I learned something new today (and something 
   new not to mess with!).

 * Now that I have that fixed, can you explain what happened and why? I’m trying
   to learn everything I can when I can. Thanks.

 * Well you changed one of the values, Blog Address or WordPress Address and that’s
   a no-no.
 * What is it you wanted to do?
