    The blog in installed at /mysite/blog but I'd like to direct people to /mysite/.

    There is content at /mysite/ now that I'll recycle somehow, but I am not sure the best way to get traffic to the blog. I see in the dashboard I can change the URL - does that overwrite other content at /mysite/?

    Thanks...! WP newb.

    do not do that - those url,s must point to where the install actually is.
    It's not clear exactly what you want. Do you want wordpress in the root? If so, use one of these options
    http://codex.wordpress.org/Moving_WordPress#Moving_WordPress_Within_Your_Site
    or
    http://codex.wordpress.org/Giving_WordPress_Its_Own_Directory

    if that is not what you want could you be more specific?

    It looks like you want to redirect people from

    yourdomain.com/blog to

    yourdomain.com

    This can not be done by redirection. You need to actually move your wordpress in the root directory..
