I currently have my site set up using CE3. Both the original CE3 folders and the BL folder reside in my Public_html folder. I want to create a test site using BL and eventually migrate to BL. However, I don't want my old site to go down. Any help would be appreciated.

you can either create a test site in a sub-folder or a sub-domain. I prefer to use sub-domains because they behave like the main domain.
For a sub-folder, use your FTP client program to create a test folder in the root of your site. Upload all the Backlight stuff to this folder.
Sign in to Backlight by going to
http://yoursite.com/test-folder/backlight/For a sub-domain, you need to sign in to your host's C-Panel and create the sub-domain there. This will add a folder to the root of your site. Upload all the Backlight stuff to that folder..
Sign in to Backlight by going to
http://sub-domain-name.yoursite.com/backlightRod

Thanks Rod. I'll give it a try.

Rod, let me see if I have this right, for a sub-domain. My domain is farbmanphotography.com. I would go into the C-Panel or my FTP program(CuteFTP) and create a sub-domain within the Public_html folder. I would set it up, for example, as http://testsite.farbmanphotography.com/backlight. Would I have to register that new domain name?

you need to create a sub-domain from your host's C-Panel. You don't need to register a new domain name.
In the C-panel, look for the Domains section. There should be a sub section for sub-domains.
Or just use a regular sub-folder that you create via FTP. This would not be a sub-domain but it still works for the purpose.
