 * If I designed a site under a sub folder in a normal domain, how do I make it “
   live”? I tried changing the dns home directory on my hosting page, but it broke
   my entire theme. I then tried forwarding my domain, but that didn’t work either.
   I know I can’t just move files because of the database set-up…what else do I 
   do?

 * I was pointed to a plug-in that is so easy to use: [http://wordpress.org/plugins/duplicator/](http://wordpress.org/plugins/duplicator/)
 * If anyone is having issues migrating (or if I am just an idiot), this plugin 
   is amazing.
