 * Hi there,
 * I recently started using WordPress again and am very happy I did. However, I 
   am wanting to install WordPress in a directory entitled (wp) to save room and
   avoid clutter in the root folder. In addition, I would also like to be able to
   rename my website as follows:
 * At installation: [http://www.example.com/wp](http://www.example.com/wp)
 * I would like: [http://www.example.com](http://www.example.com)
 * I know this is possible though here [http://codex.wordpress.org/Installing_WordPress#Famous_5-Minute_Install](http://codex.wordpress.org/Installing_WordPress#Famous_5-Minute_Install)
 * If someone could tell me how to do this that would be great as the I have followed
   the instructions in that article to the “T” and all I got was the famous “White
   Page of Death”…heh.
