 * One more question/issue — thanks for all the help.
 * I just noticed that my old RSS feed URL ([http://mysite.com/blog/feed](http://mysite.com/blog/feed))
   no longer works. Therefore, people who were subscribed to that feed won’t see
   any new posts.
 * Any way to either keep it working, or if not, to send just one more post to it
   that tells people to subscribe to the new feed ([http://mysite.com/feed](http://mysite.com/feed))?

 * Thanks for the help. I’m not sure why the “sigh.” I’m not a plugin developer,
   I’m not a php developer, etc, so I don’t really know how this works. I’m just
   a user, and I’m trying to get this stuff to work.
 * I thought I linked it myself (per the plugin setup instructions), but I confess
   that I don’t really remember.
 * So what exactly am I supposed to deactivate, and how do I do it? My only concern
   is that there’s no leftover weirdness to my setup such that someday in the future,
   some assumption built into wordpress or one of the plugins won’t get confused
   by my setup. Ultimately, I want it to look as if when I initially installed it,
   I installed it in a subdirectory but have it hosted at the root. It seems that
   converting from a subdirectory to the root has confused SOMETHING. If the only
   thing I’ve confused it wordpress.com, I’m fine with that. But if I’ve confused
   wordpress itself, that would concern me more.

 * I never had a wp.com-hosted blog. I linked my self-hosted blog to my wp.com account
   in order to get the stats plugin to work.

 * Followup: I tried a bunch of different search terms and found a few threads on
   the forum where people did the same thing, but had different issues.
 * Is there a tutorial anywhere on how to get this all working totally smoothly?
   I’d really like to not have any leftover weirdness after the move, so that future
   upgrades won’t get confused.
