Blogging subdomain problem

    When I first installed my wordpress, I put the subdomain http://wff.shockv2.com/wordpressindex.php but since then I have wanted to change the /wordpressindex.php bit to something more relevant, say something like /blog

    Is there any way I can change this without effecting the files I have under the directory?

    Thanks in advance,
    Deanny

    Depends what you mean by "files". If you change the web root, all the wordpress pages and posts will still work, although they'll no longer be indexed with Google. If you receive much traffic from Google now, you could always setup redirects, but this is more difficult. If you don't receive much, just switch it.

    Well, I have changed the name of the directory to /blog but it seems to have all the /wordpressindex for the links on the page

    Say if someone tries to register it doesn't bring them to /blog/register, it brings them still to /wordpressindex.php/register

    Any ideas?
