"Why don't you simply install your blog in it's own folder and add a link in the html of your home page.?"
My host (Innerplanet) did the default install, in the root directory. I guess I need to download the package and upload to my server myself, because I don't know all the files to move. Until I have the unzipped archive to see, that is. Too bad the host didn't offer the option of choosing a folder, huh? Thanks for the easy solution.

Good luck, also remember that you may have to edit the "$baseurl =" in the _basic_config.php in the conf folder if it moves from the root.

And also keep in mind that the /conf/_basic_config.php file that your host installed has the critical info to connect to your database. So you need to back up that file, then upload the same exact version to a folder, then edit that file to have the right database connection info in it.
At that time you will also be able to edit your $baseurl value ... and throw in a good email address ... and change $config_is_done to 1.

Delete the evo index.php and run your blog through a stub file ;)

I did have to edit the config.php file, after figuring out what files and folders needed to be moved into the new blog folder. It all worked out. As for deleting the index.php, I'd rather have that file opening the blog so the address is www.myurl/blog and not something that makes no sense to the visitor. Thanks for the suggestions and sharing your knowledge, guys.
Welcome to the forum..
Tip: Make your post title a little more specific
"How do I link to my blog from my web site"
Why don't you simply install your blog in it's own folder and add a link in the html of your home page.?
