I searched and found nothing...tries to post in a similar thread and no responce. Sorry for being a pain and starting a new thread but I have a pressing issue that I need cleared up :)

I am trying to set up a wordpress blog hosted at smugmugdomains.com (godaddy) I installed wordpress to my hosting account from wordpress.org as I am trying to use the prophoto theme i purchased.
I got the hosting acount for this blog as I know smugmug cannot host it.

I set it up so it will point to www.crystalclearphotos.com/blog (http://www.crystalclearphotos.com/blog)
My custom domain name at smugmug is www.crystalclearphotos.com (http://www.crystalclearphotos.com/)

It is not working…the blog page doesn’t exist, will not load...it just goes to my smugmug homepage. Is it not possible to set it up this way?? Would a subdomain (blog.crystalclearphotos.com) work better or do I need to register a whole new domain name??? :dunno

Has anyone done this or know what I need to do to get the blog link working???

thank you in advance :)

It would usually be

http://blog.crystalclearphotos.com since you have the crystalclearphotos.com cnamed to Smuggy....

I don't know wordpress hostname setup, sorry :(

Did you ever get this cleared up? I'm working through the exact same issue right now.

As no-one has responded to this, I will throw it out there again... I would love to purchase a Prophoto blog & use it with my Smugmug...will it ever be possible, is it something that could be looked at please?
thanks, Kim

Andy answered in post # 2 above.

Just using "kim" in the domain as an example below.

If your smugmug site is http://www.kim.com, then your blog can be at http://blog.kim.com. It cannot be at http://www.kim.com/blog.

You could have your blog at http://www.kim.com and have your smugmug site at http://photos.kim.com.

You could have a home page outside of smug at http://www.kim.com, your blog at http://www.kim.com/blog, and your smugmug site at http://photos.kim.com.
