 * I’ve installed WordPress in a subdirectory for experimentation. Now I’m finally
   ready to move the installation up to the main root directory, but I’m a little
   unsure of how to go about doing it. What will I need to change to make it work
   in the main directory?

 * Although not precisely meant for what you are doing, a careful read of this will,
   I think, result in the best approach. I use it on about 5 web sites.

 * Thank you. I haven’t tried it yet, but it looks straightforward enough.
