Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Does Thunderbird hide all of its attachments? Eudora had a folder with them all sitting right out there so I could image index and copy and paste them without going through the app. I can't work out how to do that with Mozilla.

I think you need to set preferences in Thunderbird and pick the folder you want to use for downloads.

Me stupid monkey.

I'm trying to add Kerfuffle Bunny to youllallpay.com. I want it to be its own separate thing, i.e. if you go to youllallpay.com/kb you will not get You'll All Pay the dormant blog but Kerfuffle Bunny the comic.

I have a directory on the server labeled "kb", and I have WordPress and a comics plug-in, but I don't know how to install them so that if you go to youllallpay.com you'll get the blog as it is and if you go to youllallpay.com/kb you will get the spiffy new comic. I don't know where to install them, if I need to install wordpress to the kb directory since I already have wordpress on my server space and if I don't need to install wordpress anew to the kb directory how I configure wordpress so it leaves You'll All Pay alone and adds Kerfuffle Bunny...

I'm probably babbling.

Any insights?

All is well that ends in pizza.

What folder is it under?

I don't know if Wordpress is any different than some other sites I've used, but if there is a HTML folder on your account, it would have to be under that.

Hmm.

No, there's no HTML folder.

I don't know how to explain it. GARGH, I'm a doof.

You'll need a database to use Wordpress. Once the database is configured, Wordpress is amazingly easy to install.

If you don't have a database, then you're SOL with Wordpress.

I'm sure someone here has Wordpress experience, it shouldn't take long.

MM, I'm pretty sure if you want a separate blog for Kerfuffle Bunny you'll need a second Wordpress installation in that directory.

Okay, I can upload WP to that directory, but it won't let me run the install.php.

According to the instructions, you type in "address.com/wp-admin/install.php" in your browser and it will install the thing. But when I type in "http://www.youllallpay.com/kb/wp-admin/install.php" it gives me an error message.

That sounds like a permissions issue with the /kb folder rather than a problem with Wordpress, but I've never done a manual installation so I'm not going to be much help. (Dreamhost, bless them, has WP available as a one-click install so I don't have to know how to do anything but tweak templates.)
