    Thanks.

    One last question:

    My blog is listed as my top level domain, but I want to change it to www.mysite.com/blog/

    How would I do this? Is there a website that explains this process?

    Simple really.
    Create a folder "blog"
    Then move all your blog files into the folder.

    I would get Version 3 - the paid one.

    They only offer limited support for version 2.

    Might as well get what you paid for.
