HI Greg  I would have responded to your reply yesterday but l was rushed to hospital due to a problem with my legs following an operation a few weeks ago

Hope all is now as it should be.

I deleted the forum from my website while l edited the cookies compliance thing as a number of my friends said it would put them off the page.

That screen was created by Nabble soon after the EU cookie regulations became law. In the UK, now that the Commissioner has clarified how he'll implement the law, it does appear a little "over the top". These days you'll you'll see that most sites only show a small banner, "This site uses cookies" with "Accept" and "More Details" buttons. Certainly, that is far less intrusive than the screen provided by Nabble, but none the less, you are breaking the law if you are based anywhere in the European Union and run a web site that uses cookies if you don't provide the information that the site uses cookies, with an option to display the details of those cookies.

could you tell me the easiest way to make a sub domain from a main one ie. main site www.joeblogs.org and make sub domain www.wildlifepics.joeblogs.org l have had a wordpress domain donated to me which l mainly use as a blog at the moment but want to have a separate one showing my art work thanks for help so far

Normally, your web host will provide a control panel where you can access the screen you need to manage all the domains you operate. There are a number of different Control Panel software packages available that hosts could use, so I can't give you a step-by-step on that as I am only familiar with my host's - and have never explored that part of the Control Panel myself. I have never used WordPress and I fear that if your domain is part of the package you have with them, then they would use something unique to them. In short, I'm afraid you'll need help from the company that provides your domain with that issue.
