 * I recently moved by blog from kurt-anderson.com to kurt-anderson.com/main. The
   move was successful, but I changed my mind & tried to move it back to where it
   was originally by reversing the process. Problems ensued.
 * Now:
    – it shows my blog, but it is unformatted – if you click on any given entry,
   it still redirects to a /main permanent address – if you try to access wp-admin,
   it redirects to a /main directory AND gives a 404 Error
 * I’m sure there is one simple solution that will resolve all of my problems, but
   I am unable to figure it out on my own.
    Thanks in advance for all the help!

 * If you can access the WP database for your site you should be able to fix it.
 * The info about the site URL is in the wp_options table. If you can get there 
   and edit you should be able to fix it.

 * Where is wp_options found? I don’t see it in my main directory (that might be
   the problem). The only similar thing I could find is an Options in wp-admin
    
   So I guess (a) where do I find my wp_options? (b) Once I find it (or download
   a new one) how should I edit it?

 * Forget that first idea. If you’ve got access to FTP then see this page:
