Blog Integration

My blog has a really crappy domain name (a bunch of numbers and letters) and I want it to be virtualsolutionsadmin.com/blog. How on earth do I do that?? I currently host through 1and1.com, both blog and website.

Thanks!!

It's really not as hard as you think. Can you link us to your current blog? Also, what software are you using for your blog?

I think it's Wordpress...it's whatever 1and1.com gave me! :)

Oh MY!!! That is UGLY!

What you will need to do is upload wordpress under a /blog directory on your main virtual assistant site to start. Let me ask a question first, do you have FTP access?

[Bri Young]

Hmmm...I have an FTP program on my Mac, but I haven't ever used it! GAWD, I'm awful!! lol.

FTP is really VERY easy. It's as simple as dragging and dropping folders around your desktop. But instead of dragging and dropping locally, you drag it into your FTP window and it outs it on your web server.

Do you know your FTP login, because you will need that. You can download the latest version of Wordpress from: http://wordpress.org/

Shoot me a PM and I can help you set it up if you need it.

I'll find my FTP login, I think I know where to look...thank you for your help!! I'll PM you if I get stuck!!
