  Hi everyone – I’m not new to blogging but am very new to wordpress.

  My host, Aplus.net, has a WordPress install option where WordPress is installed right to my website. However, I only have a choice between installing to http://www.sitename.com/wordpress or http://www.wordpress.sitename.com.

  I want my blog to be set up so that when people go to http://www.sitename.com, they see it and never the /wordpress extension. Is this possible? I know that I could just rename the folder and move some files around on the site once I do the install but don’t know if that will mess up the future posting.

  Any advice or insight would be GREATLY appreciated!

  Thanks!
  Brian

  This is a good question to ask at wordpress.org, or perhaps even better at aplus.net.
  These forums are for questions about blogs hosted here at wordpress.com.
