First - thanks to everyone for helping and I apologize if I didn't
understand anyone's suggestions very well or didn't explain the problem
right.

I believe I have it worked out!

I put all the files that were in lyceum right into the directory 'blogs'
including the folders: lib, config, and installation and changed the
following to:

define('WEBROOT', '/blogs');
define('MAINDOMAIN', 'www.redthreadlove.com');

I also changed the private.php file as instructed (uncommenting and
commenting).  And it seems to be working - I keep expecting to find
something that isn't quite right but haven't yet.  

You can see I have a test blog here:

http://www.redthreadlove.com/blogs/stillhoping

- no 'lyceum' directory!

I'll likely have other types of questions later on, but it seems like it
is installed great and set up how I wanted.

Thanks again!

Trisha
