 * Where is my web-root folder? I was thinking this was the folder with “..” after
   it? But I must be wrong because when I hit “view site” I get the following:
 * Warning: main(./wp-blog-header.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory
   in /home/content/l/w/a/lwatson/html/index.php on line 4
 * Warning: main(./wp-blog-header.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory
   in /home/content/l/w/a/lwatson/html/index.php on line 4

 * I want to give WordPress its Own Directory While Leaving my Blog in the Root 
   Directory (my URL). However, It seems between Go Daddy and filezilla WordPress
   uploads using the extension “/wordpress” as if it was the root directory?????
   At least that is how it appears to me.
 * I have attempted to follow the “Codec…” direction of of WordPress
 * and did the following:
 * 3. In the box for WordPress address (URL): change the address to the new location
   of your main WordPress core files. Example: [http://example.com/wordpress](http://example.com/wordpress)
   
   4. In the box for Blog address (URL): change the address to the root directory’s
   URL. Example: [http://example.com](http://example.com) 5. Click Update Options.
 * But, when I get to 6:
 * 6. Move your WordPress core files to the new location (WordPress address). There
   appears to be no where to move the “WordPress core files”. These files seem to
   already be in the “root directory” uploaded from Godaddy to Filezilla.
 * If someone knows what I am talking about (I am confusing myself at this point)
   and can help direct me to how I can, over the web, access the blog page using
   the URL wihtout the “/wordpress” extension, I would be grateful.
