   Suppose that when I was naive about blogging, I set WordPress up at the root of my domain's file system, i.e. http://www.myblog.com/ , and now that I think I'm clever(er), want to move it (and the content) to http://www.myblog.com/wordpress - How would I actually go about doing that? All of the file links seem to be hard-coded to point to http://www.myblog.com/wp-content/_something_.

   The urls are typically "relative" links, so they will adjust automagically, assuming you make all the necessary changes which includes (but may not be limited to) .htaccess settings, the wordpress address, and the blog address (both are found in "settings").

   It's been a a while since I've moved a blog, so I may have left something out.

   1. login and in the admin > Settings > General change the two URL values to where you want to move your installation. Save. (you will get an error mesage but don't worry about it)
   2. DO NOT TRY TO SEE YOUR BLOG
   3. Move all the WP files and folders into the new directory where you want your blog (according to how you changed to URLs), including the .htaccess file, if you have one.

   It should work. You may need to reset/resave your permalink settings.
