Re: How do I add www to this?

You'll need to use your htaccess file to set it up like that. Also, if you have sitemaps, use Google sitemaps and in it has the options about how you would prefer to show your site: with www, or without www.

But you'll have to look into how to edit your htaccess file to get www to show up. I know I had that problem with my site, but then I used vBSEO and it seems to have taken care of it.

Re: How do I add www to this?

Here is how I did it for my homepage and forum

Code:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.yourwebsite\.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.yourwebsite.com/$1 [L,R=301]
</IfModule>

The blog I started yesterday runs off the same .com as my home page and forum

But when I installed wordpress I changed the permalinks and had to change the .htaccess file (which it did not have one so I created one and stuck in there:

Code:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /truck-driver-industry-news/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /truck-driver-industry-news/index.php [L]
</IfModule>

I know I can have only one .htaccess file, now how do I fix this so I can use both of them together?

I think that might work...I'm not the most experienced, I mainly just do trial and error to get things to work right.

Yea, That is no problem, I will be playing around with it some more, I am sure it is probably something simple.
