Blog/Bans is the best combo in my own opinion to avoid being labelled an e-commerce site.

You create a folder off your domain called Shop and put BANS in that folder. If you follow the detailed directions Mark has included with his theme then you should understand this ok.

Your site should look like this:

public_html/mydomain.com/shop

Mydomain would be WordPress blog.

The shop folder would have BANS installed in it.

The theme ties them both together even though they operate independently.

Wordpress- have bought themes from you which are good-However what the hell am I doing-just got WP Premium looks great can not work out how to put bans on it-I am not thick but really lost on should I just have WordPress or sites with Bans as well-Lost it on if should be in root directory or other-need a basics to work with-one theme and then should I keep my main bans page-Shit I am all over the place-
if you can when free look at some of my sites-not all Bans

In regard to the mentor program, I actually have a completely different domain setup for it as it is not 100% BANS specific! :-)
