Redirecting to WordPress Subdirectory – PLEASE HELP!

    I am a WordPress newbie and my blog is hosted by godaddy.com. I have tried a LOT of different techniques to redirect my domain address (theconnectionag.org) to my blog subdirectory (theconnectionag.org/home) only to lose access to my WordPress Dashboard and the blog itself. After panicking and cleaning up the mess caused by these failed attempts several times, I’m pretty darn frustrated. ;o) So, my questions are as follows:

    1. Is it possible to redirect a domain to a subdirectory?
    2. If so, how long should I wait to see the changes take place?
    3. Afterward, will I still be able to access my WordPress Dashboard in my domain once I’ve redirected the domain to the subdirectory?

    I suspect perhaps I’m not waiting long enough for the changes to take effect…but I’d like to know for sure. I’d REALLY appreciate any help or suggestions! Thank you!!!

    Thanks for trying to help! Before I received your response, I decided to go with a 301 redirect, which worked great and was very easy. Are there any drawbacks to using this method that I may be unaware of?

    I’m wondering why, with this being such a simple alternative, more people haven’t suggested it as a solution…
