Hey everyone,

I just had a bit of an overhaul on my website from the old look and also tried out Drupal CMS before converting back to Wordpress.

Anyway here is the deal.

My old site treated the blog as completely separate site as it was kept in /blog/ directory and my server was set-up to treat that folder as a sub-domain.

Now I want the blog to be more integral part of my site, so I re-made the theme and while leaving wordpress in /blog/ I changed the theme of it to make use of some files (CSS, JS and includes) from the /css /js etc files.

The problem is now my sub-domain while set up to use /blog/ treats the root document as /blog/ rather than /.

So basically my question is, how can I make it so the Wordpress files can be kept in a directory nice and tidy, while using the CSS and includes etc for my main site and still make it a subdomain?

If it helps I'm on tsohost.co.uk and basically the main reason for keeping the sub-domain is to keep any SEO I have although I am rather tempted to drop that if this turns out to be a bit too hardcore.

My site is www.gauntface.co.uk - Thanks for any help in advance :-)

Skyfall thanks for the help and that sounds exactly like what I need.

But when I set the subdomain to www.gauntface.co.uk/blog/ it thinks the root is www.gauntface.co.uk/blog/ instead of www.gauntface.co.uk/

i.e. I have a CSS file at www.gauntface.co.uk/css/main.css which all my pages use but when I set the sub-domain to www.gauntface.co.uk/blog/ it looks for the file at www.gauntface.co.uk/blog/css/main.css - I'll have a play around tonight and try get the blog to do it relatively OR does anyone recommend the <base> tag? not sure how well supported it is and whether it is a recommended by the standards
