 * My blog and the three column template theme (anaconda) were working properly,
   until i unknowingly tried to manipulate the blog url in the options tab in the
   admin panel.
    I tried to change the url from [http://www.medinmark.com/blog](http://www.medinmark.com/blog)
   to [http://www.medinmark.com/edication](http://www.medinmark.com/edication). 
   The change never got implemented, and also the theme & presentation of blog has
   now broken. I have also lost access to my admin section.
 * Kindly guide me, how to trouble shoot this problem & regain my presentation style
   once again.

 * Never ever try to change those URIs to “fantasy” values. If your don’t know how
   they work – simply don’t touch them!
    (<rant>why people never read instructions???

 * Follow the guide:

 * I am very thankful to you for you support, moshu. I am absolutely new to the 
   field of blogging & apprehend my incapability to handle this problem properly
   even after reading the page suggested by you.
    I am also afraid to loose the 
   data (pages / categories / links / etc.) Could you be a bit more generous by 
   helping me get rid of this problem? I shall be grateful.
 * Thanks

 * You will not loose anything IF you follow the instructions from the tutorial 
   I’ve linked above.
    I can’t give you better instructions than those described
   there.
 * You will need to access your database through phpMyAdmin – which is the usual
   interface to manage your MySQL database.
    Last idea: maybe there is somebody 
   you trust and more technically inclined who could do it for you.
 * (being new is not an excuse for not reading the instructions **before** messing
   around with thing you don’t understand… on the contrary!)
