 * Hello,
    I have a site at [http://www.dolphinstruth.com](http://www.dolphinstruth.com)
   that had a few static pages. I set up WordPress on the main directory public_html,
   rather than setting up WP in its own sub-folder. I built the WP blog and I used
   permalinks to make it like dolphinstruth.com/blog1 and dolphinstruth.com/blog2.
   It worked great. What I tried to do then was make the blog my homepage, so that
   when someone went to dolphinstruth.com, they would see my most recent WP blog,
   and I could then delete my old static pages. I tried to copy index.php and htaccess
   files(which seems to be common advice given often in this forum), but I messed
   something up. There are several different index.php files within the various 
   WP folders, so I might have copied the wrong one, I tried backtracking, and now
   nothing works. You can see the error message at [http://dolphinstruth.com/test1/](http://dolphinstruth.com/test1/)
   and that page was working fine a few minutes ago. Any tops please?
