I got my webhosting for a year as well as a domain name.
I couldn't get my blog to work to the point where I could type the web-address without adding "/wordpress."
I changed the URL to exclude the "/wordpress" and now all I have is error messages. I can't even log in to my dashboard.
Please help, it's my first blog and I've been at it all day.

So, let me get this straight... currently your blog is at http:www.yoururl.com/wordpress, but you want it to be at http://www.yoururl.com?
If you want to take the "/wordpress" off the URL of your blog, you're going to have to move the entire WordPress installation.
Unless there's an easier way to do it that I'm unaware of, you'll have to create a new installation at your desired URL, then copy all of your themes, plugins, and other supporting files, and export your database. Once you get the new installation up and running, you can upload your themes, plugins, and misc. files, and import the database.
If you simply changed the address in the wp admin area and are now locked out, see the following for a fix:
