Having finally managed to sort out my issue with .htaccess – I’m using the redirection plugin by John Godley – see his page on WordPress redirection here I decided to move the actual main part of the blog to its own subdirectory on the server as described in the WordPress documentation on moving the wordpress files while leaving the blog in the main directory which took far less effort than most everything else I’ve done so far.
I then decided that I wanted a better looking theme, which I’m nowhere near getting sorted yet, but I’ve downloaded and installed the Thesis theme from DIY themes. It’s a very good looking theme when fully configured, and you can see at presnet that out of the box it’s got some great features – Imagine it with all the bells and whistles and you can see why there’s such a buzz about it in the blogging community. You can get it yourself by going to the Thesis theme homepage.
I do (as ever) have another issue with my current setup – clicking on a permalink on the site at present gives a page load error. I think that this might be something to do with a redirect somewhere on the site, or it might be that the old posts and format are confusing the database. If this post works then I’ll know it’s the old ones, but if it doesn’t then it means another afternoon of trying to figure out what the hell the issue is.
