In reply to: 404 error in wp-adminHmm… yeah. I’m not an .htaccess expert, but you might add a line to that one like:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/blog.* [NC]Put it right before that Zen Cart comment.

In reply to: 404 error in wp-adminSure doesn’t seem to be a blog there.
After the install finished did you receive a confirmation email? What URL was on that?
Analytics won’t display anything in your footer.
Some analytics plugins won’t insert the tracking script if you’re logged on as your WordPress admin user (I don’t know if this particular plugin does that — does it have a Settings Page?).
So try this: Log out of your WordPress site. Visit your main page and use your browser to View Source. Look down at the bottom of the source and see if you can find the analytics JavaScript code. If it is there, things are working properly.

In reply to: 404 error in wp-adminWhere, exactly, on your site did you put WordPress?
http://www.classicalchandeliers.co.uk/blog/ is a 404 as well.
One option — save your current wp-config.php file. If your theme isn’t the default you should probably back up a copy of it as well.
Blow away all the other WP files.
Upload new WP files.
Restore that backed up wp-config.php fileDone!
No need to run the WordPress install since you already have a functioning database.
Now, assuming everything works as expected you can methodically start re-installing plugins and themes — but test after each install. Hopefully that will help you narrow down where the issue lies.
Or, skip the re-install. Instead, deactivate all plugins and set the theme to default or classic. Test. If it works properly, again with the methodically add / test routine.

In reply to: CSS not loading on ANY wordpress pageWell, since I can connect to that link but you can’t, I think you’re definitely back to needing to talk to your local network/firewall/proxy guys to see if they’re blocking wp.com or somehow blocking all wordpress sites.

In reply to: CSS not loading on ANY wordpress pageThis happens with any WP site, regardless of where it is hosted?
One thing that you might try: View source on a site not displaying properly and find the line that refers to the style.css. Copy/Paste that to your address and try and pull it. If everything is cool you’ll see the stylesheet. If not, you’ll get an error of some sort that might be helpful in diagnosing this.

In reply to: New Theme = Low Traffic?How are you gathering traffic statistics — and how is it integrated with WordPress? Is it possible that you had added some tracking code to the old theme that you haven’t added to the new theme?

In reply to: Simple question – How do I put an intro paragraph on the home page?Easiest way? Create a new post and make it sticky. Now it will always be at the top of the “latest posts” list.

In reply to: Frustrated with “home page” and feature boxesThe folks you bought it from run a support forum — have you tried your question there? http://www.pagelines.com/forum/
Not being familiar with the theme (and not willing to buy it to answer questions) this is a hard one to field. Did the theme include any sort of documenation? Perhaps a readme.txt or something similar? Perhaps customization tips might be there.

In reply to: I can’t create space between paragraphsThe theme defaulted to the 5px, but the stylesheet for some sort of store thingy is clobbering it.

In reply to: Improving the WordPress.org support forumsI’d offer a small child[1] for a CSS change that would make followed links (topic) much easier to distinguish from unfollowed. Those of us who left the 20’s a long time ago would be very thankful.
