  I installed wordpress on my server – I directed it to save in a folder something like this http://www.mysite.com/wordpress_site_test

  It worked fine, I installed a theme, modified the theme, loaded up content, etc etc.

  But now that I have all of the kinks worked out, I want to move the contents to http://www.mysite.com

  I tried just moving it there… but the styles are all missing, and I don’t think the content management will work either.

  What do I need to do? do I have to reinstall to the new location? Is there an easy way to merge the content since it’s been modified?

  thanks!

  The site linked to your name does not exist – we need the URL beginning with http of the sites you are asking about to give you accurate help.

  Also you are asking about a self hosted site:
