hello everyone. i'm a complete newb to the blogosphere and i'm trying to help out a friend who's even less savvy than i am. i've chosen atahualpa for a theme. i've gone into presentation > theme options and updated a few things. when i bring up the site, none of the options i've changed show up. is there something really obvious i'm missing?

one thing i noticed is that when i hit "view site" it brings me to a mysite.com/blog and not mysite.com. mysite.com/blog has all the changes.

We're all newbies at the beginning!

Go into your Dashboard/Settings/General area (I'm using WP 2.7), and yours might be called something else.

Check your URLs for the blog and where your Wordpress files are. Mine are in the same directory at the moment, but when we go "live," I think I will put index.php in the root of my site but leave the WP files where they are.

I may be back asking that question later! I'm sure all of this is answered in the WP Codex, but it's more fun to get answers here.

And make sure you're saving all your changes, of course.

thanks paulae. it's weird. all of the changes showed up a few hours later - like it just took a while for them to take effect. thing is now, none of the comments on each post are visible. when i click on them it just takes me to a blank page. any ideas on that?

can someone please help me out?

Could you post your URL so we could look?
