I did what others have said to do on this page – I copied the original wp-content folder and wp-config.php and installed wordpress (2.9.1) onto my computer. I uploaded the new installation of wordpress onto my domain and then copied the original content folder and wp-config.php file… my site ran, but it was blank. Should I have backed up the database, too? I’m guessing that’s what the problem is.
Sorry if I’m an annoying newb…
