 * I saw that link which tells you to post this code:
 * <?php if (function_exists(‘sociable_html’)) {
    echo sociable_html(); } ?>
 * anywhere in the template of your blog but it doesn’t specify WHICH template. 
   I have a Revolution theme and clicking on the editor presents a host of templates(
   page template, index template, page blogger template, etc). I don’t want to guess
   which of the several templates I need to post this into. If someone could be 
   more specific I will greatly appreciate it! This one works wonderfully and unlike
   another one I tried did not break my feature gallery plugin so I’m determined
   to make it work. I really want this to appear at the top. Thanks!!

 * Nevermind. I figured out what I did wrong. There are two NextGen Gallery items
   to activate: The NextGen Gallery and the NextGen Gallery Widget. I had only activated
   the widget. Hope this helps anyone else to learn from my mistake.

 * To clarify what I want – How do I resize the comment fields to take the size 
   of the other default comments when posted from the main index page. (sorry I 
   accidentally filed this under installation when it should be how to and troubleshooting).

 * I’m having the opposite problem that aprotector had. My comment field is too 
   narrow, and I too want it to fit within the confines of the template’s middle
   column.
 * Here’s another funny thing – I inserted just as openpundit suggested the string
   <?php comments_template(); ?>
    in the page.php file. Howerver although that worked
   and my pages are now able to receive comments, I just looked at that file again
   and the string is missing. Again, it’s working but the string disappeared.
 * Any help will be greatly appreciated.

 * Okay. I see something I missed. Instead of copying the files I was _moving_ them.
   I take it that the files need to be both in the wordpress directory AND the root
   directory, which for my web host is /public_html.
 * The good news is now the root address works, but now when I click on a page I
   get “page cannot be found”, but when I click on a catagory I get
 * “not found: The requested URL /category/special-comment/ was not found on this
   server.”
 * Sorry for not being clear on what I was after and thanks so far for the help.

 * whoami that’s where I started. It was those links that I used to come up with
   the idea to create a separate folder. If there is a specific part you can quote
   to tell me what I did wrong I’d appreciate it.
 * “_WordPress allows you to install the WordPress files to a subdirectory, **but
   have your blog exist in the site root**. _
 * That is from the first link and what lead me to believe I can do this. Again 
   what am I missing? Something tells me I need to edit the index.php or the .htaccess
   file, but don’t quote me on that since I’m in no position to offer myself advice
   anymore which is why I turn to you.
 * Thanks again for the reply.

 * Thank you whoami for the quick reply. My goal is to have a separate folder to
   install wordpress without cluttering the root folder of my corner of the web 
   server, which from what I read was a desirable option. I figured changing the
   blog or the wordpress addresses under general options wouldn’t do the trick, 
   but was just trying to give more information to provide clues of what I’m facing.
 * Are you telling me I can’t create a separate wordpress folder to install and 
   update versions of wordpress without changing my url to [http://www.whatever.com/wordpress](http://www.whatever.com/wordpress)?
 * Thanks again.
