 * I’m using Yahoo to host my wordpress website and seem to have the same problem
   no matter how I try to install WP. Yahoo asks me what path I want to use. The
   choices are abcd.com/custom or abcd.com/blog. The install works fine when you
   type in the url abcd.com it brings you right to the website. HOWEVER Once I’m
   on the website and hit my home tab the URL now says abcd.com/blog. The same holds
   true for the other pages. I DO NOT want the /blog in front of every address. 
   I just want the url address to be abcd.com. By the way I’m using Thesis theme
   as well.
    This is driving me insane, Please help

 * Hi there,
    if had the same problem with another theme in a just small different
   way. The Investigation for the Problem is not that quiet easy if you have no 
   experience in html and php but you can try it.If you are still searching for 
   a solution here is what might help: Navigate to your Editor so open your dashboard
   > Appearance > Editor
 * Search for the keyword “home”, because this is where your Home Button is defined.
   In case you have found it there should be a “a href=” tag around it which is 
   the html tag for marking a link. It probably should be in functions.php, index.
   php or header.php.
 * Check the Content of the “a href=” perhabs you can see the thing with the “/blog”
   now if not there will be a php tag.
    Thats how the line looks in the theme i 
   am using: `<a href="<?php echo get_option('home'); ?>/"><?php _e('Home'); ?></
   a>`
 * Explanation of the code:
    at first there is the html link which looks like this
   in default: `<a href=""></a>` Then we have 2 php snippets:
 * > <?php echo get_option(‘home’); ?>
 * This brings you the your BLOG URL ([http://www.myblog.com](http://www.myblog.com)
   for example)
 * > <?php _e(‘Home’); ?>
 * This reminds says here is something to do. In this case the Text “Home” shall
   be displayed.
 * Perhabs this will help you
