   Hello, I have mydomain.com and installed wordpress on mydomain.com/blog.
   When I create pages in wordpress such as about, contact, etc. the URLs looks like this: mydomain.com/blog/about but I just want to show a clean URL such as:
   mydomain.com/about without the installation folder /blog/ directory. Is it possible?
   How can I configure this? Modify .htaccess?

   thanks esmi for response.
   I read the info about "Giving WordPress Its Own Directory" but I still have some questions...
   On mydomain.com I don't want to have the index.php (meaning I don't want to display posts, just a home static page), the blog should be in mydomain.com/blog and pages in mydomain.com/page# so I'm not sure how to do this.

   Try going to Settings > Reading and having the Front page display a static page (the page you want to appear as your homepage) and then choose the page you want your posts to go to.

   csbarrett's advice will work and combined with the "own directory" method should give you the result you want.

   Great but... one more thing: is it possible to set up the front page to be ANY page (e.g. index.html) and not a page created (and managed) in wp?

   Because from Reading Settings I am able to select a (front) page which resides only in wp...

   Not without editing your theme files.
