I managed to fix it by naming the folder back to/ wordpress/ and was able to get back into the admin page and switch them back… but this procedure doesn’t seem so simple. So far, I haven’t seen a solution posted here in the support forums for how to change your file name from say… [http://www.whatever.com/wordpress](http://www.whatever.com/wordpress) to [http://www.whatever.com/blog…](http://www.whatever.com/blog…); for example.
