Hello everyone..
Im having trouble with working my blog on my my site, any help would be appreciated.
When I click on blog , it takes me to a place that says "Page not found" or just appears as an empty page ... I have paid someone to build this blog for me from Elance,, unfortunately they left it the way it is and stopped responding to my messages. Its my first blog, im not really sure what im supposed to do..
Could anybody give me Ideas? I don't know much about php but I can upload or copy one of the files,, Does this mean there is an eror in the coding? if it does where would it be?
Thanks in Advance!
This is the site:
http://www.upperworkouts.com/index.php
and The Blog:

Thanks for the reply,
Yes, thats what I'm getting sometimes,..
I looked that error up and i found that an Error 500 means that something has gone wrong on the web site's server, the host I'm using is 1and1 and the rest of the site seems fine.
but Ive contacted them anyway,
what I need to know, what Is the link I am supposed to use to edit the blog?
Here is the link I'm trying:
http://www.upperworkouts.com/blog/wp-admin/admin.php
and its giving me the same error,
Wouldn't I need to log in with a word press account?
I know that Info could probably be pulled out from the php files, where should I look, I cant really find anything..

If the blog was hosted on a wordpress account it would be wordpress.yourBlogName.com. It looks like the person that created the blog used the wordpress system so the only thing you need to 'edit' it would be a username and password that would allow you to log into the back-end.

Not quite, you would need the username and password combination. If you have access to the database and own the site (which it seems you do) you could reset the password directly within the database and login in that manner. Google 'Reset wordpress password'. Hth.

Thanks that clarifies things, do you have an Idea where I would be able to find the wordpress account that was used? I its impossible, could I create a new one and use it for the blog?
1and1 replied today and told me, the error 500 message was to do with the php version. The default version of php in the server was php4 and needed to be php5.
They uploaded a .htaccess to change the version to php5
However im still unable to log in, how would I know the email address or the wordpress username of the account used.
I couldn't find any hints in any of these files:
wp-config.php
wp-login.php
wp-setting.php

I cant believe it was that simple!
I kept trying usernames then decided to try " user:admin Pass:test "
And it worked everything is solved!
Thanks social_experiment !!!!
