 * Hi – I have recently deleted my old website pages in favour of installing WordPress
   and creating a Static front page. Whilst all is fine and WordPress is running
   my URL is not quite right.
 * Example 1 – I added my URL to my stationery as [http://www.windsorartscene.com](http://www.windsorartscene.com)
 * This no longer works (did with my old non-wordpress site).
 * Example 2 – If I add [http://www.windsorartscene.com/index](http://www.windsorartscene.com/index)
   then all is fine.
 * How do I correct this? Do I do it on my hosts server? e.g. move WP from the Index
   folder I created when I installed?
 * As I have paid out for Business Cards etc, I would like to have the root URL 
   as per example 1
 * Thanks in anticipation

 * Yes, you will need to move WP out of /index and into root, or give it it’s own
   directory (meaning most files stay in /index, but it runs from root)
