# Changed website link

 * Okay, my website is Netsua.com. I went into options and changed the website link.
   I forgot what it was called, but I changed 2 things (one for blog and one for
   site) from netsua.com to google.com (don’t ask why, but it has to do with kids
   from school)
 * Now when you go to netsua.com you get the site but unformatted. Also, all the
   links are “google.com/?page_id=56” kind of things which get the google error 
   page. If you change “google.com” to “netsua.com” though, you get the page just
   unformated just like the main page.
 * Now I can’t get back to the control panel place to do anything and change it 
   back to “netsua.com”. Is there a way that I can do this? If not, I can copy all
   the content and start over, but that would take a VEEEERY long time, and I don’t
   look forward to it.
 * Is there a way? Please help!

 * Is that the only way? I don’t understand phpMyAdmin and I’m worried I could mess
   even more up

 * If you have phpmyadmin then the steps there should make sure nothing goes wrong.
   The only alternatives would be using the commandline through shell access – which
   I find very scary indeed.
 * Take a look at what is needed and your own phpmyadmin – if you see any differences
   or have questions, just ask – we’ll answer – honest!

 * PhpMyAdmin, and there are all the files, but I don’t know how to set up something
   to get to what I want to do. It’s so confusing.
 * EDIT: Okay, I figured it out. thanks!

 * I guess you misunderstood something. phpMyadmin should be on the server – installed
   by the host.
    And you have to go in and export your database (=make a backup).
