   Hi,

   Right now to get to my site, you have to go to mysite.com/blog, instead of simply mysite.com.

   Bluehost thinks that it's because I don't have an index.html file in my public_html folder, but didn't know how to fix it with WordPress.

   Someone helped me create an index.php that redirects people from mysite.com to mysite.com/blog, but I was wondering if there was a way to just have the blog be up on the regular url.

   Any thoughts? Thanks in advance for the help.
   WHL

   Unless I'm mistaken, your whole wp install would need to be at that root level - not inside a folder called blog.

   Go to Options/General and change the two URLs there from http://mysite.com/blog to http://mysite.com . Then, move the contents of the /blog/ folder into your public_html folder.

   Hi guys,

   Thanks, that worked! It's been a steep learning curve, with so much more to learn still, but at least my site's up (if empty). I'll fill it soon, but this is it so far: http://www.screenwritinglife.com.

   Thanks again,
   WHL

   Or if you still want the files in a folder, you can see here:
