   i have my wordpress installation in a folder in my domain (public_html/wordpress) such that i can access my index.php by typing http://www.example.com/wordpress/. this is for the purpose of trying out wordpress and building up the pages without going prime time yet.

   later, i intend to access index.php at root such that i could access it by typing just http://www.example.com. i want only index.php at root and all other files should remain at the public_html/wordpress folder. is that good practice? how is that done?

   would it just be simpler if i deleted my wordpress folder and re-installed wordpress at root? i prefer my original intention if it does not get to be too complicated, accessing index.php at root but all other files inside the wordpress folder.

   To make WordPress available at http://mydomain.com just change in Settings->General, the Blog address (URL) to http://mydomain.com and put this index.php file in your web-root folder (it is the same folder that contains the wordpress folder)

   <?php
   /* Short and sweet */
   define('WP_USE_THEMES', true);
   require('./wordpress/wp-blog-header.php');
   ?>

   Then update your permalinks in Settings->Permalinks.
