 * I spent a few weeks building a site in the /wordpress sub-directory off the root.
   Before I launched the site I set the site URL to the root directory and left 
   the content in /wordpress.
 * I submitted the site to google, set-up google analytics and SEO enabled the site.
 * When I search for the site using google I get references to the /wordpress sub-
   directory and 404 page not found errors. In many cases I get the proper index
   to the root pages.
 * Does having the content in a sub-directory and the site URL in the root directory
   create a problem for Google indexing?
