 * Yeah, I tried that, but it didn’t work. I found out that because I had messed
   up the blog address setting, wordpress could not update options, and so when 
   I tried updating to “[http://dhost.info/joetheprogrammer/wordpress/&#8221](http://dhost.info/joetheprogrammer/wordpress/&#8221);
   it refused to change.
 * So I took a trip to the mysqladmin utility, and edited the wp_options table manaully
   to restore my website.

 * Thanks, but that link only seemed to cover changing login details. However, I
   got it to work by going under the wp_options table, and finding the cell that
   contained the active plugins, and messing around with it, and amazingly it worked.
