 * I seem to be completely failing to understand WP multisite. I know very little
   about hosting and file system management.
 * I did a multisite install when I first installed wordpress. It was installed 
   in /public_html/wp. Currently [http://www.theslowroad.org/wp/](http://www.theslowroad.org/wp/)
   is run from this install.
 * I also hold the domain melissakuhnell.com. There is currently a folder public_html/
   melissakuhnell.com which holds the old html and css files for this site. I want
   to use wordpress to build a new new site at melissakuhnell.com.
 * I tried to add it as a site in the Wrodpress Network Admin, but that failed.
 * How do I accomplish this?

 * Don’t “BUMP” things up, that’s not cool!
 * Start with this:

 * If you need to use multiple domains, also read this:

 * I’m sorry. Bumping is considered fine in some corners of the net. I just wanted
   to keep it visible so that someone could help.
 * Thanks for the pointers.

 * And making multiple posts about the same thing is not good either.
 * 1) You can’t map domains, you’re in a subfolder. Sorry. It doesn’t work.

 * 2) Yes, you need to move it

 * I’m closing this and some of your other posts. Do things ONE at a time, mark 
   posts resolved when you’re done 🙂 Helps everyone.
