   Hi everyone...

   I've checked around, and the most helpful posts I can find don't seem to cover this little issue I have.

   I currently have wordpress installed in a particular directory on my webserver (mydomain.com/blog), and I want to move my blog back to the root domain.

   The help articles I've found only seem to cover if I want to go from the root domain to a new directory, and I'm paranoid about messing up my site (which I've done a few times before! lol).

   Anyway if someone could reassure me of the correct procedure I'd be most grateful.

   Thanks!

   easiest way would be this:

   dumple your mysql database to your machine and open it using notepad then use "find and replace" to replace all domain.com/blog to domain.com and import the sql file to your database.

   no - do not use this advice - move it properly
